Healthy medium red. Reserved but nuanced aromas of red cherry, licorice, coffee and wild herbs. Dense, concentrated and sappy; fat and full for young Clos Vougeot, with dark cherry and licorice flavors sweetened by a note of coffee liqueur. Seriously thick for the vintage, finishing with substantial ripe tannins and excellent length.

The profusely wooded nose displays plenty of menthol attributes along with various red and dark berry fruit, herbal tea, earth and a pretty floral nuance. There is fine power and concentration to the large-scaled, intense and muscular flavors that deliver excellent length on the overtly robust and rustic finale that is presently very tannic yet not hard though there is ample youthful austerity present. This will clearly need plenty of time.

Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has an animated, quite oaky bouquet that veers towards black fruit rather than red. It does not quite "flow" like others, a bit green perhaps. The palate is actually better with succulent tannin, a keen line of acidity, though it tapers in and feels raw on the finish. It is a disappointing wine from Jadot and this is the second time that I have tasted it blind. Tasted September 2016.

Tasted blind. Bright crimson. Some light compost on the nose. Rather simple bitter cherry flavours on the palate. Very austere tannins and marked acidity on the palate. (JR)
