2006 Vosne romanée Le Clos Goillotte

The 2006 Vosne-Romanee Le Clos Goillotte has a slightly diffuse and leathery bouquet that compared to other vintages seems rather dour. The palate is tart on the entry with slightly rasping acidity, foursquare and masculine, and lacking a little substance for the first hour or so, although returning later it does coalesce and gain more weight. This is a mercurial Le Clos Goillotte that changes dramatically in the glass but never reaches the heights of other vintages. Drink now-2018. Tasted May 2014.
