The 2009 Clos Vougeot is remarkably polished and fine in this vintage. It may ultimately prove to be better than the 2010 given that the heat of the year has tamed the tannins to such a significant degree. Layers of red fruit built to the explosive finish in this huge, powerful Clos Vougeot. The 2009 is rich, round and totally sensual and impeccably finessed. I underestimated this wine from barrel. Today, it is brilliant. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2039. (93+ points).

Displays enticing aromas of flowers, cherry, strawberry and spice, with a hint of leather and licorice in reserve and a long, long finish. A wall of tannins shuts this down?at least for now. The aromas are worth the price of admission. Best from 2016 through 2035. 300 cases imported.
