SOUTHERN / AMERICAN / PACIFIC WINE & SPIRITS® Chateau de La Tour Clos Vougeot Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru 2015 (Cote de Nuits, France) – [BH 95] [AG 95] – 6058036428959

95 Points – Antonio Galloni’s Vinous:
“Bright, dark red-ruby. Superripe, complex aromas of black raspberry, black cherry and licorice complicated by subtle soil tones. Sweeter and creamier than the cuvée classique and much more approachable today owing to its sheer sucrosité and depth. This beautifully balanced wine’s thick, concentrated fruit covers its substantial building tannins on the very long, slowly mounting finish.” – Stephen Tanzer (Jan 2018)

95 Points – Allen Meadows’ Burghound:
“This is aromatically similar to the regular cuvée but there is notably more concentration, power and dry extract to the broad-shouldered flavors that pushes the very firm tannic spine to the background on the hugely long, palate coating and driving finish. This opulently full-on effort is a manifestly old school Clos de Vougeot that is not only very much built-to-age but is going to require lots of it. In a word, excellent.” – (Jan 15, 2018)
