Tasting notes
The 2009 Vosne-Romanée Aux Genaivrières is beginning to drink beautifully, soaring from the glass with an inviting bouquet of rose petals, blackberries, smoked duck, incense and exotic spices. Full-bodied, velvety and spumous, it's layered and textural, underpinned by ripe, powdery tannins and succulent acids.

Already quite evolved and very attractive on the nose. Lot of floral and freshness and very racy. (JR)
The 2009 Vosne-Romanee Aux Genaivrieres opens with delicate spice notes, then explodes on the mid-palate with waves of flavor. Sweet crushed rose petal notes develop in the glass, weaving through the eternal finish. This is a gorgeous, fleshy wine graced with exquisite class. I especially like the way the Genaivrieres fleshes out on the finish. Frankly, its hard to move on to the next wine after this.
