Louis Latour 2005 Clos de Vougeot

Country: France /
Variety: Pinot Noir Burgundy
Winery: Louis Latour / Clos de Vougeot

Firm and hard, this shows density rather than fruit, tannin rather than freshness. It goes for the dark side of Clos Vougeot. There is some bitterness from the extraction, but the wine needs many years before it comes into balance—the juicy red fruit finish promises richness later.
