I opened a bottle of 2000 Drouhin Clos des Mouches last night with
grilled D'Artagnan confit duck legs and braised collard greens. The
wine was a clear pale red in the glass with a fair amount of brickish
cast. Nose of wet mushrooms and sour cherries. A bit thin on the
palate with background notes of spicebox and cherries. A significant
amount of acid from front to back and the wine seems disjointed
lacking enough fruit to balance the acid. maybe a bad bottle but I
recall never having a real affinty for this vintage of Clos des
Mouches.
