2016 Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, Cote de Nuits, France 750ml

Background floral notes combine with ripe, earthy, somber and notably serious aromas that are also trimmed in discreet wood along with a hint of menthol. There is very good density to the powerful and tautly muscular flavors that manage to retain a seductive mouthfeel before culminating in an impressively long finish that is somewhat less youthfully austere than it usually is and a bit more refined as well. Very good quality here and this is recommended provided you have at least some patience.
