Clos de Vougeot Grand cru 2013
Deep, bright red. Candied black cherry and licorice on the nose, along with a funky note of reduction. Very ripe but tight-grained, boasting excellent intensity to the rather muscular black cherry and pepper flavors. Strong juicy fruit here but very tannic and dominated by its structure in the early going. The peppery quality carries through on the aftertaste, giving the wine a faint dry edge.
