Tasting note: There is just enough reduction present to warrant decanting this if you're fully intent on committing vinous infanticide. I had the opportunity to allow this to sit in the glass and with about one hour of air an earthy and quite pretty array of spicy red berry fruit aromas reluctantly emerges. There is unusually good refinement to the pure, concentrated and seductively textured broad-shouldered flavors that deliver strikingly good length on the impeccably well-balanced finale. However what really makes this so impressive is the sheer complexity but as deep as this already is, the depth should only continue to improve as the 2010 Clos de Vougeot is still years away from its peak. In a word, fantastic.
