Clos Vougeot le Grand Maupertui 1996 Anne Gros

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (92)

This black-colored wine offers aromas of creamy red cherries and Asian spices imbued with charred oak. An explosion of super-extracted, and massively-powerful cassis, blackberries, and brambleberries assault the palate in this full-bodied, chewy-textured, and unbelievably dense wine. It is inconceivable to imagine a more concentrated and intensely packed wine. It formidably long finish displays satiny yet firm tannins. In ten or more years if this wine has evolved, my score may appear pathetically low.

Concentrated, jammy fruit, just a bit herbal, with decent cassis and blackberry notes and impressive midpalate concentration. Medium-bodied, with clean, crisp character on the finish, it earns kudos for not being overoaked in this vintage.
