The 2013 needs time for the classic Monvigliero perfume to emerge fully

iodine and violet scents that blossom in the glass

It's as though the Clos de Bèze and Chambertin have switched places in 2006 as here the nose is positively kaleidoscopic with a huge range of aromas and spice elements along with a hint of menthol

This is really lovely and a classic Vaudésir in its delicacy

Clos Fourtet other_regions_italy The 2013 needs time forThe 2015 Clos Fourtet has a sensual, warm bouquet with chestnut and smoke tinged red fruit, well defined and more understated than its peers. The palate is medium bodied with fine tannin, elegant and refined, silky and smooth in texture with beautifully poised red cherry and cranberry notes toward the finish. A tang of tobacco lingers on the aftertaste. Stunning. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting. Neal Martin
