Heart of Clos Vougeot: Surprisingly similar to the ‘89 with that ripe blueberry fruit nose, perhaps a little less nuance and texture on this and more fruit syrup. Thinner palate than that on the ‘89 with some raisiny quality to the fruit. Underwhelmed. Ex-domaine bottles tasted with Francois Labet.

Château de la Tour Clos Vougeot Dinner with François Labet (Les Nomades - Chicago IL): Open approx 45 minutes before serving, then served single blind in mid-aged CdlT CV flight. Tasted, re-tasted and enjoyed over the next two hours. Charming floral and spice driven start with mature black fruit. Everything is fine harmony. This started as quite fresh, but started showing its age with more time in glass. Best when in glass 15-60 minutes, then slowly shortening from there.
