The 1935 Clos de Vougeot from Barolet is a quite austere wine. In the Bouquet it' was showing mature dark fruit but is lacking some complexity and depth. On the palate also a dark expression of fruit with a quite strong backbone of acidity. Still quite impressive but is lacking some vibrant life to …
