Alex Gambal Clos Vougeot Grand Cru - 2005 (750ml)
Three of five barrels of Gambal’s 2005 Clos Vougeot are from a parcel high up and against the wall of the Clos and Grands Echezeaux (and three of five are new, too). Roasted meat and blackberry aromas lead into a bright, slightly tart, undeniably concentrated mouthful of black fruits backed by persistent, charred meatiness, alkaline mineral notes, and a chewy load of tannins. There is no doubt of this wine’s impressive depth and density, and probably a decade is needed to bring it into focus, so bear in mind that my scores reflect an estimation of the appeal it will hold immediately post-bottling.
