Chateau de la Tour, Clos Vougeot Vv Vintage:2021 slight earthiness on the entry 104536720170600750 slight earthiness on the entry and truffle and black pepper toward the lightly spiced finish backward and brooding nose reluctantly gives up hints of very earthy dark pinot fruit nuanced by a distinct animale hint that merges into broad shouldered flavors that offer excellent volume and concentration that finishes with just a hint of dryness and plenty of minerality This is evolving glacially and certainly much slower than I originally foresaw but it should be a stunner of a Clos de Vougeot when it finally reaches its peak A wonderfully expressive and broad ranging nose offers up notes of plums
