  Sweet and warm on the palate. Medium bodied with berries and soft tannins. Much like a 2003 Burg.

• 2000 Jean-Jacques Confuron Clos Vougeot

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru

  Classic Burg nose. Very smooth and silky with the elegance and complexity worthy of a grand cru. Very persistent and in the sweet spot of its drinking window. WOTN.

How could I forget take down the details of the last wine? Other than my tasting notes, all I wrote were “1996 monopole grand cru”! Anyway, the notes read “Full bodied with good acidity and a very classic finish. Much younger than it really is and will keep for a very long time.”
