Vougeot “Le Clos du Prieuré” Rouge Monopole Reviews

 A distinctly sauvage nose reflects notes of dried flowers, damp earth and a very fresh mix of both red and
dark pinot fruit scents. There is fine precision and lovely punch to the medium weight and lightly stony
flavors that are supported by relatively fine tannins on the saline-inflected and persistent finish.
This is slightly finer than it usually is and should drink well after only a few years of bottle age.

Bright full red. Very reduced aromas of strawberry, coffee and game, plus a whiff of leather that carries through on the palate. Bright and spicy on entry, then creamy in the middle, but kept firm by pepper and herb notes. Then turns a bit dry on the back end, with underlying chalky minerality contributing to an impression of firmness. In a disjointed phase today.
