Community Tasting Note

ricardito Likes this wine:

Saturday, August 13, 2022 - Purchased at Domaine in the mid-90's after a spectacular barrel tasting of the 1993 vintage at the Domaine. 8 bottles remain from the original 6 packs and only now is the magic starting to unfold. 88's could be tough love from the get go, as most were totally shut down through the 90's and only started opening after 15-20 years. Currently bright medium ruby with nose of cranberry slapped with subtle sous bois. Palate impressively complex with ripe bing cherries foiled by balancing acidity and finishing long with Asian spices and feathered saddle leather. Worth the wait and easily one of the top Clos Vougeots, neck to neck with the ancient Engel stable. Enjoyed same night as an 88 Leroy VR Beaumonts-this Vougeot greater intensity of flavours. Best now-2040.
