1998 Domaine Jean Grivot Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux Monts 1er Cru
FRANCE / BURGUNDY / VOSNE-ROMANÉE
Burghound | Rating: 88
Elegant and spicy fruit lead to medium weight, slightly hard flavors that will require several more years to soften though this will probably always have a certain edginess to it. This is really very pretty but best with food if you choose to open one now or in the next few years.Author: Allen MeadowsInternational Wine Cellar | Rating: 94
Full ruby-red. Very primary, floral aromas of crushed dark berries and violet. Supple and densely packed but also tangy and penetrating. Captivating, complex cassis and black cherry inner-mouth perfume. Has the firm structure of the vintage without being hard. Finishes quite long and bright and solidly tannic. Should be a vin de garde. Grivot says a few of his '98 cuv‚es, including this one, should exceed his excellent '96s in complexity and volume.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: March/April 2000
