The Drouhin 2007 Beaune Clos des Mouches suggests strawberry rhubarb in its sweet-tart alternation, which I find alluring although I would have expected it in a 2008 rather than a 2007. Nutmeg, smoked meats, damp bark, and peat lend interest, and while this is rather opaque when compared with the 2008 rendition, it boasts satisfying persistence of sweet fruit. Perhaps its personality will focus more with time in bottle, but I am betting against that and would plan on following it for 6-8 years. - David Schildknecht
