  I haven't tasted a Burgundy like this before. The 2012 Burgundy comes from a cool vintage, yet it emits the aroma of ripe fruits, along with intense spice notes, and even hints of spiciness.
  Upon opening, it exhibits high acidity and feels a bit subdued. Gradually, it reveals refined spice flavors with a certain complexity that makes me forget the original taste of Clos Vougeot.
  
  没喝过这样的勃艮第
  2012的勃艮第是个冷年份
  可是这个闻起来是很熟的果实的香气
  并且有很强烈的香料味，甚至辛辣
  刚开的时候酸度高，沉闷
  慢慢展现出精细的香料味，并带有一定的复杂度
  让我已经忘记clos vouget本有的味道了

  A serious, dense and well-composed wine. Already showing some earthy complexity but it’s just a glimpse of what this should become with another 5-10 years.

  First slightly closed, but opened up some more in the glass. Elegant and later also complex notes of sweet spices, savory herbs, some sweet red and dark red berries, crushed flowers, dried meats and some darker minerality. It's medium-full bodied (it put on weight with some more air), with excellent persistence without being heavy, has medium+ acidity and medium+ tannin that is present but very good quality. Excellent length. A benchmark Clos de Vougeot from this great producer. I would still give this a few more years in bottle. (95+)

  Tasted blind. Light bodied, lovely nose of vanilla, cured meat, soft and elegant. This will be a very elegant CdV.

  Having previously had the 2012 Suchots and Beauxmont, I was very sceptical to H-N, but purchased this anyway. I'm glad I did. Lovely spice, slightly tart in a great way and with lovely strawberries. Fuller than the Suchots and Beauxmonts, yet elegant and light. I would have guessed Vosne. Terrific. 95+.
  Drank this over 4-5 days. Drink young or store many years. Lost a bit of charm after 3-4 days.
