"Tasted blind at Fine & Rare Wines' Clos Vougeot tasting, the 2013 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru from Domaine Jean Grivot has a slight metallic element on the nose that implies just a little reduction, although it seems to blow off with time and there are some decent cranberry and wild strawberry notes underneath. The palate is smooth on the entry with ripe, rounded tannin. There is impressive volume to this Clos Vougeot, though like several others, it needs to evolve more complexity and precision on the finish. Give this 3-4 years to develop in bottle. I don't think this is Etienne's strongest card in 2013."

A restrained nose proposes a well-layered mix of plum, essence of cherry and pungent earth scents along with a hint of the sauvage. The textured, concentrated and powerful large-scaled flavors possess remarkable density on the mid-palate thanks to the abundant dry extract that buffers the very firm tannic spine and slightly softens the austere and serious but not hard finale. As good as the 1ers in the range are, there is simply another dimension of depth present here. In sum this is terrific but patience will definitely be required.
