Chateau de la Tour, Clos Vougeot Vintage:2013 (93-95)/2024+Moderate but not invasive wood sets off overtly floral red and dark berry fruit aromas that are liberally spiked with warm earth and spice wisps. There is a refined, even caressing texture to the medium bodied flavors that possess good levels of dry extract along with solid punch and power on the firm and lightly austere finale. This isnt a monster of concentration in the same fashion as its 2018 counterpart but it offers fine quality.
