d'Eugénie Clos-Vougeot Grand Cru 2016

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, this too has just enough reduction to reduce the expressiveness and freshness of the otherwise layered nose that is even more floral though less spicy with its dark berries and newly turned earth scents. The sleek, intense and muscular flavours possess equally impressive size, weight and power through the hugely long and youthfully austere finish is arguably even longer. This is a really impressive wine that I believe merits receiving the benefit of the doubt.
