Wednesday, March 14, 2012 - Domaine de la Vougeraie tasting (Watson's, Hong Kong): Spends 16 months in 45% new oak. This is planted at a density of 36,000 per hectare (the normal high-density is 10,000 per hectare). They harvest this plot last as it ripens slowly. Apparently we need to wait 10 years for this one.
Light clear ruby. Very interesting nose - spicy and complex with forest floor and pepper notes. Fine tannins and well integrated.
