Chateau de La Tour Clos de Vougeot Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru 2018 750ml

95 Points Burghound

(from vines that were planted in 1910; ~6,000 bottles will be produced). A slightly riper nose is comprised by notes of poached plum and dark berry liqueur with more evident notes of spice, floral and humus- inflected earth. The bigger, richer and more concentrated big-bodied velvet-textured flavors flash both good freshness and outstanding power on the structured, serious and mocha-inflected finish. This is excellent though it is very much fashioned in a built-to-age and take no prisoners style, and thus it is very much a buy and forget you own it wine.
