2005 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, Frederic Magnien

"A background touch of wood frames backward and reserved earth-infused aromas as well as intense, robust and full-bodied and broad-scaled flavors that are powerful, punchy and display outstanding intensity on the youthfully austere and linear finish that is impressively persistent. This is almost taciturn yet it's very promising in terms of its cellar potential. I quite like this but it's for the patient. Drink 2017+"  Allen Meadows, Burghound, Jan 2007
