IWC: By Stephen Tanzer
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Issue #131, March/April 2007)
(Chateau de la Tour(Burgundy) Clos Vougeot) ($112-$119; includes a bit of the old-vines juice; from a crop level of just 22 hectoliters per hectare, according to Labet) Good moderately saturated medium red. Pure, spicy/herbal aromas of red cherry, minerals and licorice. Tactile and chewy, showing more herbs and spices today than primary fruit. Airy, broad and dry. There was hail here on August 28, and Labet eliminated 30% of the fruit. 89 points |
