  A splendid wine on a splendid vintage. Gorgeous color, gorgeous scents of flowers, fruits, terroir and showing us the time that it has traveled. It has many, many years ahead, but this was our last bottle, alas. However with all beautiful things of like it leaves us a great memory of a truly dignified, deeply rooted, and proudly standing Clos Vougeot with all qualities of a Grand Cru Burgundy can provide. Fully open, and ready to be enjoyed, many years ahead. That was gorgeous. Cheers,

  This wine was surpassing my expectation. First of all I have reluctant feelings about Clos Vougeot with its tag all together as it is too big and its soils too different and the angles vis a vis of Sun so irregular and about 80 domaines making CV... so in short not one ever moved me nor had a distant style of CV, which I am still figuring out. However this bottle at this stage of development was rather a surprise as it had a good depth closer to Bonnes Mares, I would say, and while profound, it had nice nuances, which were for sure different than Chambolle or GC Musigny, just above it. Certainly not the brightest of cotes de nuits however it had a seriousness and dignity and the shades coming along were fully appreciated. Still full of fruits, though fading away to let the finer and subtle words express what it really has in its soul... Subtle bricking at the rim, and tertiary elements will soon surface and it should be at its peak in about another 3~4 years, in my humble opinion. Cheers

  NDG 2002 Clos de Vougeot Dinner (Summer Pavilion, Ritz Carlton, Singapore): This had a lovely nose, really earthy and loamy, with toasted oak, wood spice and dark fruit underneath. The palate was a shift in gear though. It still had the freshness of the vintage, but there was marked sense of oak and extraction on it, coming out in almost bittersweet notes at points, with bramble and dried orange peel notes twisted around a sweet, dark fruited core. Finish was a touch hollow, petering out in a linger of wood spice. There was some power, depth and length; balance was pretty good. Even then, this was decent rather than great - I felt it was overworked.

  Clos de Vougeot 2002 Horizontal: Clearly riper style, plum, torrefaction aromas. Unusual aroma profile but not uninteresting if you like such fuller style. Unfortunately there is a drying finish pointing towards over extraction. Aroma 92. Palate 88.

  Hum... this was a first of 3 bottles and at first it was very pretty, very promising upon opening and yet as the bottle went down, it showed less and less to be rather flat at the end... it wanted to be deep and yet was shallow and somewhat disjointed. Maybe a bit too young... will try again in a few years.
