Domaine Thevenot-Le Brun et Fils Clos du Vignon Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits 1995

Domaine Thevenot-Le Brun et Fils "Clos du Vignon" Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits 1995: This wine has a simple red hue, with a degree of pink-orange bricking at the rim. The nose carries aromas of ripe, juicy Morello Cherries and blackberries, with some leafy, mushroomy notes. The palate initially seems thin, but once the wine has breathed for a while it develops an elegant texture, with soft, meaty tannins and balanced acidity. Some beetroot, cherry and earthy flavours, which persist through a peppery finish. Good length. Good. (10/12/00)
