  Black cherry, plum, spices, hints of forest floor, ash, violets, beautifully perfumed nose; thick, rich, lush texture; notable depth, though fruit is clearly beginning to fade; balanced, with long graceful finish; perhaps slightly lacking in concentration and penetration but still very good
  After 2 Hours: Nose is similar but more perfumed and enriched; on palate it is more integrated, perhaps slightly more tart but also more penetrating
  Final Glass Two Days Later: Yet greater integration with a beautiful balance and greater depth and engagement on the palate; quite lovely

  Last of 6, opened an hour, perfect cork and level, lightening, brown rimmed, attractive black fruit mainly, earth and sous bois, just starting to fade allowing 96 enhanced acidity to protrude, classy but past its best, drink. F (17.5).

  Clos Vougeot - Ech/Grand-Ech Side Tasting (Chicago): 96/99/02. Enticing aromas of red and black cherry that is full of spice, brown sugar and toasted herbs. Seamless and bright on the palate. Lifted, long finish. At peak.

  Clos Vougeot (Grands-Echezeaux / Southwest-side) Tasting (Hughes House - Chicago IL): In 96/99/02 vertical. Ripe black cherry and berry comes across as very powerful while bright with some brown sugar and savory spice notes. Much better than another bottle from one year ago.

  Clos Vougeot Tasting (Chicago): Fairly awkward now with a muddled focus. Earthy black cherry is there but it's muted and clunky.
