Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Ruby red. A powerful nose of coconut, cherry and cassis characterizes this Vosne-Romanée. This roundness is continued on the palate with notes of black fruits and a pleasant freshness. Balanced and rich this is a very handsome wine.
Ratings
Allen Meadows, Burghound: 88pts.
A spicy and overtly ripe nose of cassis and plum merges into supple, delicious and sappy middle weight flavors that exhibit an appealing trace of minerality that adds lift to the mouth coating finish. This should drink well young or age for 5 to 7 years if desired. 88/2014+
