2007 Vosne romanée Le Clos Goillotte

The 2007 Vosne-Romanee Le Clos Goillotte initially has what you might describe as a funky nose, slightly bretty at first, although that seems to clear with an hour in the glass to reveal some ripe Morello cherry and wild strawberry scents. There is also a stemminess in situ, although that ebbs away with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine crisp tannins – a structured Le Clos Goillotte with more matiere than the previous vintage. This improves in the glass and evolves a lovely cohesive ferrous finish. This is very fine, but I would give it another two years in bottle. Drink 2016-2026+. Tasted May 2014.
