Tasting notes
Good medium red. Redcurrant, leather, earth and nutty oak on the nose. Supple and fairly dense, with flavors of dried red fruits, earth, leather and spice, as well as a saline suggestion of soil. Not a particularly fruity style. Finishes a bit hard-edged, with notes of minerals, pepper and herbs.

Moderately saturated medium red. Nicely ripe aromas of currant, mocha and smoked meat; a bit less black in character than the Damodes and Porets Saint-Georges. Then more pliant and a bit more evolved than the foregoing samples, in a distinctly Vosne style. Finishes with good length and moderately ripe tannins.
