Mature red cherry and berry start-to-finish with meat and earth notes. Clearly showing Grand Cru density with plenty of vibrant acidity. Impressive length. This is drinking much better now vs a decade ago, and I expect it will easily drink well for another decade. 91+ points.

Popped and poured. I initially wondered if this was slightly corked, despite rich underlying fruit. Drank nicely for 5-10 minutes, then incrementally more and more corked.

Clos Vougeot - Northside / Chambolle-side Tasting (Chicago): Fairly tired earthy fruit that comes across as dirty. Time to drink up.

Clos Vougeot (Chambolle/ Northside) Tasting (Chicagoland IL): Smelled great when opened at 4:30, but tired when finally tasted at 7:45. What started as woodsy, later seemed dirty. I will pop-and-pour my remaining bottles.
