The 2008 Clos de Vougeot possesses notable energy and power, even if today it is quite reticent. The 2008 is a muscular, cool Clos de Vougeot laced with dark fruit. From time to time the wine’s inner perfume emerges, hinting at what awaits those who are disciplined enough to bury this wine in the deepest corner of the cellar.
A dark, brooding style, exhibiting layered notes of cherry, flowers, spice and mineral etched upon a steel-girder construction. There's intensity and a saturation to the flavors, with a lively, linear aftertaste of fruit and mineral.
