(92-94 points) The 2019 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru has more depth and complexity compared directly with the Echezeaux, a mixture of red and black fruit, cedar and tobacco, broody at first but opening nicely with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent fleshy red fruit on the opening, laced with orange rind, brown spices and a touch of truffle. Good depth and muscle towards the finish, maybe missing the precision of the best examples in 2019, though impressive in terms of persistence. Excellent.
