Note di degustazione
The 2003 Clos Vougeot comes forth with unreal aromas of mocha-laced black cherries, chocolate-drenched plums, and candied blackberries. Full-bodied, immensely concentrated, and deep, this broad, bulky, powerful wine is jam-packed with black chocolate, red as well as black cherries, licorice and tar. Loads of solid yet ripe tannin provide this dense blockbuster with ample structure, detectable in its interminable finish. It will require cellaring to civilize its weighty, graceless nature. Projected maturity: 2009-2019. Represented by Leroy, Inc., San Rafael, CA; tel. 415-457-4811, various importers, including Martine’s Wines, Novato, CA; tel.

Ruby-red. Exotic liqueur-like aromas dominated by maple syrup and woodsmoke; just this side of cooked. Then thick, sweet and exotic, with superb depth, but the flavors are at the edge of overripeness and could use more definition. Today I find more port than terroir character. Finishes with substantial tannins that avoid dryness.
