A beautifully fresh nose flashes plenty of floral elements on the liqueur-like aromas of dark berries and earth that are trimmed in just enough wood to notice. There is excellent volume and mid-palate concentration to the powerful medium-bodied flavours where the supporting tannins are actually quite fine and particularly so for Clos de Vougeot, all wrapped in an impressively persistent finish where hints of warmth and austerity appear. Patience absolutely required. - 94, Burghound
