Tasting notes
Good medium red. Very fresh aromas and flavors of small wild red berries, dried flowers, smoke and game. Rich and voluminous but sappy and not at all heavy; really saturates the mouth with flavor and builds and echoes on the back end. The tannins are fine and even. A beauty. (ST)

The 2010 Clos de Vougeot is quite open and radiant at this stage. This is a totally gorgeous Clos de Vougeot that captures plenty of finesse with none of the austerity or angularity that can sometimes plague wines from this site. A pointed, mineral-drenched finish balances the wine beautifully.
Rich and concentrated. Not refined but clean and clear and focused. (JR)
Good bright red. Black cherry, menthol, licorice, coffee, mocha and violet on the nose, with a high note of blood orange. Then silky and dry in the mouth, with a wonderfully refined texture for a young Clos-Vougeot. Plenty of power here as well. Really spreads out to saturate the palate on the back end, finishing with a savory, subtle perfume and terrific tactile persistence.
