April 12, 2024 - Medium ruby color, tending towards garnet. Reticent on the nose with some ripe red fruit and forest floor notes. Medium bodied on the palate and juicy but with a slight astringency towards the end.
November 22, 2023 - Gotta say that I’m in the camp that believes this one is past its prime. I thought it might blow off as it opened but sadly it held the same. Might have been a winner in its heyday but this bottle did not age gracefully.
March 4, 2023 - ESTG does Red Burgundy (Bellevue, WA, USA): This shows the ripe vintage with a freshly baked fruit pie. Mmm, this has wonderful fruit, ripe and generous but not overripe or too roasted. Long, long with buckets of fruit.
November 30, 2022 - Ripe dark fruit, earthy and minerally, with adequate freshness. Still a little tight and short, so this wine still may have some time ahead of it.
August 28, 2022 - Method: pop and pour; cellar tempt; red/bdx wine glass
Nose: barnyard, black cherry, wet forest floor, faint mint
Palate: ripe darker cherry, baking spice; long finish of mineral, a light dried herbs; dry; medium- dusty tannin; medium- body; medium acidity
Overall thoughts: The nose is great, but the palate, while very good, is not a good as it lacks a bit of complexity and the tannins are very good, but not great. Great wine.
July 23, 2022 - This took 90-120 mins to open up. Initially acid heavy.
Extremely young energy, beautiful tannic structure and awesome acidity, verging on slightly too much but still in sync. Fruits nicely present after the prerequisite air. Great mouth and nice length. Maybe even better in 5? Could smooth out the burly acids. 25 years is the sweet spot for jadot Clos V
July 13, 2022 - Falling apart/past its prime. The nose is beautiful. Barely any acid and tannins remaining to hold it together, but it’s still lovely - despite being overly ripened.
February 17, 2022 - Rich herb and earth-filled black fruit with lots of nuance. Fruit is ripe but very well balanced and with enough restraint to let the complexities come through. At peak. Another bottle that represents how well Jadot mastered the 2003 vintage.
September 3, 2021 - Very perfumed nose with black cherries. First the palate is a little tough and one dimensional, but with food it develops that sweetness - without being to much - you only find in burgundy. A little dry on the long finish, but not much tannins. It was much more elegant and airy in 2006, but very tasty anyway.
June 14, 2020 - Medium body with good fruit, black cherry in particular. Still going strong but drinking really well right now
