Its terroir immensely benefited from the dryness of the vintage said Grivot while serving his outstanding 2002 Clos Vougeot. Aromatically this bold wine reveals loads of spicy red cherries. On the palate it is wonderfully sweet velvety-textured and extroverted. Copious quantities of red cherries spices candied raspberries and earth envelope this beauty's ripe tannin. It will be delicious relatively young and should age extremely well. Projected maturity: 2007-2020.

Tight and backward but offers dense textures and concentrated cherry blackberry and spice flavors. A solid core of fruit midpalate. Tannins are robust now needs to be stored about 10 years. Best from 2012 through 2025. 125 cases imported. -BS
