Tasting notes
Healthy dark red. Superripe aromas of black raspberry, animal fur and roasted meat. Very ripe but classically dry and backward; less open-knit today than the village Vosne, with the gamey quality carrying through on the plate. Finishes with ripe, spreading tannins and lingering notes of minerals and spice.

Dark, savoury black cherry fruit. Delicious perfume, but the overall impression is very restrained and condensed. Needs time. (RH)
Bright, dark red. Musky black fruits and game on the nose. Good shape and complexity in the mouth, with dark berry and dark chocolate flavors lifted by minerals and spices. Finishes with serious dusty tannins and a suggestion of lees. (The Vosne-Romanee still had a bit of malic acidity and was impossible to judge.)
