I also get a hint of sweetness to close that makes a good contrast against that savory element

intense and mineral-driven medium weight flavors that display excellent length on the youthfully austere finale

The best wine from a difficult decade for Port

Philippe Charlopin-Parizot, Clos Vougeot Size:6x750ml up to three weeks beforeAll that can be discerned on what seems to be a very ripe nose are notes of reduction and wood. There is excellent volume to the very rich larger scaled flavors that brim with dry extract that imparts a suave texture as well as buffers the powerful, complex and impressively long finish where notes of rusticity and austerity slowly emerge. This too is very promising.
