Joseph Drouhin, Clos Vougeot Vintage:2015 It is another superb Barolo(Drouhin owns . 91 ha in two parcels that are rarely blended as the lower portion is typically sold; 30% whole clusters). Here too there is a poached plum character to the slightly fresher nose of earth and soft wood nuances. There is good punch and solid density to the muscular medium weight plus flavors that coat the mouth on the lightly stony and youthfully austere finish. This is quite firm and will need extended patience. (90 93)2032+
