Liger Belair, Clos Vougeot (Burgundy, France) 2005

($140): The promise of this young wine is most apparent in its nose and the extraordinary finish.  Prominent aromas of oak are balanced by plenty of fruit and the combination is hard to resist.  Tightly wound at this early stage of its life, strawberry and other red fruit-like flavors sneak out from the tannins and oak.  Its silky texture is commensurate with its grand cru status. 94 Michael Apstein Jul 31, 2007
