Salon Ficofi Paris walkabout tasting and dinner, no detailed tasting notes. Coming into its prime. Tannins have melted, still very present but well integrated.

Perfect stage of development. Some tertiary flavours but fruit still present. Closed nose to begin but opened. Not as much expressive character as I would have hoped but very powerful. Bottle variation?

This is textbook mature Vougeot. Balance, grip and that smell. What's not to like? I'm sure if this was the 2010 vintage it was the ironfist in a velvet glove

Not quite as fresh as previous bottles. Very good though and quite softened given the vintage with dark blueberry and cherry fruit and a lovely layered effect on the finish.

Wine of the evening at a Clos Vougeot 2005 horizontal. Lilac and strawberries with a long and velvet mouthfeel. Well balanced and structured wine.
