The 2016 Clos de Vougeot is an exquisite wine. A burst of sweet red berry and floral notes make a strong opening statement. Delicate and lithe on the palate, the 2016 is such a sensual Burgundy. Clean mineral notes lend vibrancy throughout. I would prefer to cellar the 2016 for at least a few years to let the bright acids mellow a touch, but opening a bottle now is far from a crime.

Could use a bit of time - though not a crime to drink with at least 30 min of air. Unmistakable Zin - big fruit and spice. Thoroughly enjoyable and a wine that doesn’t require a high IQ to enjoy. — 5 years ago

Champion's league final wine.
Strawberry, green pepper, black pepper and some mineral stuff like pencil lead. The palate is wonderful. Strong acid backbone, strawberry all along, a strong grip on the sides, firm tanins, a long peppery, fruity finish and some bitterness in the end. This is glorious. So much craft put into making sure that every part I have described is well articulated and makes sense. Like reading a good crime story — 5 years ago

The nose is abundant strawberry framed by French oak. Decanted 90 minutes & temperature cooled to 58F....the room temperature for a castle😉The flavours are balanced from front to back evolve as follows: cherry, red currant, black olive, graphite and lengthy green pepper finish. It’s colour is translucent Crayola purple with medium liquid weight and the tannic grip pairs well with the richness of CAB Ribeye, rustic garlic mash and any well buttered green veggie of choice.
