Like the Romanée Saint-Vivant

though as usual

blackberry pie and blueberry compote with a touch of cedar chest

12% Sauvignon Blanc and 2% Muscadelle picked from 29 September until 14 November over four or five pickings

I didnt have the chance to taste any 2012s

Chateau de la Tour, Clos Vougeot other_regions Like the Romanée Saint-VivantModerate but not invasive wood sets off overtly floral red and dark berry fruit aromas that are liberally spiked with warm earth and spice wisps. There is a refined, even caressing texture to the medium bodied flavors that possess good levels of dry extract along with solid punch and power on the firm and lightly austere finale. This isnt a monster of concentration in the same fashion as its 2018 counterpart but it offers fine quality.
