Jancis Robinson (17.5)Mid cherry red. One of the most voluptuous of these 2011 Clos Vougeots. Bitter cherries and lots of punchy fruit with attack. Still very youthful but with good potential. Dry but neat and clean finish. Some persistence. |

Burghound (95)Here the nose is similar to the regular cuvée from a compositional standpoint but the fruit is denser, slightly riper and more complex as well. The very concentrated broad-shouldered flavors possess excellent concentration as the copious dry extract both coats the palate and buffers the extremely firm tannic spine on the explosively long but impeccably well-balanced finish. This is distinctly old school in style and will require extended cellaring to arrive at its peak. I would not recommend buying this ultra-serious effort unless you have the express intention of cellaring it over the longer-term. |
