The colour is a very deep, dark purple red, reflecting the warm vintage. The nose shows the new oak over rich, mysterious pinot fruit. There is a vibrancy and focus hinting at what is to come.
The taste starts with textured, mouth filling tannins from the new oak and intense fruit. The fruit easily carries the 100% new oak. After the initial attack the wine hits the base of the tongue and runs into a long persistent finish.
This is a big Burgundy, one of the finest Clos Vougeot I have tasted.
