Tasting notes
Château de la Tour's Clos de Vougeot 1995 is a Pinot Noir masterpiece from Burgundy. This vineyard carries a rich history, and the 1995 vintage really comes into its own when given time to mature. It's a wine that truly reveals its character with patience.
It shows up in volume 14 of 'The Drops of God,' when Shizuku is forced into a blind tasting by Jack in a bar setting. It might have been a bit young at the time, but imagining the taste of a fully matured bottle brings its own kind of enjoyment.
When you pour this wine, the deep ruby color immediately catches your eye. The rim has that slight orange tint, hinting at the age. Give it a sniff, and you'll be greeted by aromas of ripe cassis and black cherry, layered with notes of tea and underbrush. It's a deep and complex bouquet.
Take a sip, and you'll notice the firm tannins that start off strong but soften to a velvety texture over time. The acidity is lively, balancing beautifully with the fruitiness. The finish is long, leaving you lingering in its world long after the last sip. This wine is truly elegant, one to savor slowly and enjoy the unfolding story.
