Ghost of Clos Vougeot: This nose is quite nice, darker cherry fruit with savory baking spice and dark earth. Palate is well built, good red berry fruit, good balance, and good acid drives a nice finish. Technically solid but there is more character and nuance to be developed here. Bottles directly from the domaine.

Promising at first with a big smack of old style burg horsiness on the nose though there is also a whiff of musty old library books. On the palate it is completely shut down, with thin, pale crimson fruit if there is any fruit at all. Hours later it cranks up in concentration and deepens in tone with a fairly saturating blue/black complexion - enough to give me hope this has the underlying material to reopen into something interesting but it is a long, long way off.

Cherry and sous bois with notes of caramel and wilted rose; full, substantial, a little monolithic but good fruit and well aged, though a little tart
