Earthy nose, sous bois with a hint of brett. A sweet, soft palate with a bit of spice and a touch of VA.

Deep purple color at the core. Wet earth and spice on the nose. Good size and weight on the palate, supple fruit with some backbone left.

(Magnum): Super expressive nose, complex aromas. Dark cherry, earth, sous bois. On the palate the fruit was velvety, sweet cherries. Tannins and acidity well integrated. A crowd favorite.

(Magnum) Ripe earthy nose, forest floor, smokey. Medium complexity on the palate, rich with a hint of berry compote (not to be confused with stewed). Nice but overshadowed by the Clos de la Mousse in the same flight.

(Reconditioned). Good color, a pretty floral nose, secondary. Light and sweet on the palate but with a hint of dryness on the finish. One very experienced taster in the group pointed out that the dryness may be a result of the original wine and the younger wine used to recondition may not be fully integrated. A fun and delicious wine for a village.

Immediately the nose jumped out displaying deep and complex aromas of earth, wet leather, sous bois and spices. The palate was just as complex. A mix of red and dark fruits, herbs with a rich coating sweetness and supple mouth feel.

Incredible nose of dark sweet and spicy fruit. Medium color with no bricking. On the palate the fruit was intense yet feminine and extremely focused. The complexity on both the nose and palate was mind blowing and ever changing in the glass over the course of an hour. Wine of the night.

A very sexy nose of mixed red and black fruits with hints of wet earth. Plush, sweet palate of red fruits, elegant tannins backed by just the right amount of fresh acidity. The "terrior" really shines through on this excellent and elegant wine. Fantastic 01' that will only get better over the next few years. Second favorite of the night.

Classic Vosne spice on the nose. Deep brooding color. Big on the palate with deep dark fruit and plenty of backbone. Opened up after 30 minutes turning sweeter and sexier on the palate. Good now but will improve.

(Magnum) A bit musty at opening. Mature meaty nose, barnyard, wet fur. Stoney black fruits but somewhat astringent at first on the palate. The acidity mellowed a bit after time in the glass displaying more fruit.

Explosive spicy nose of dried roses, tar and orange peel. The palate displayed plush black fruits with a firm backbone. Continued to evolve and became rounder and softer over time.

(Magnum) Lovely expressive nose of deep brooding black fruits, incense and flowers. Intense and dense palate of black cherries, tea and spices. Super wine that requires more time.

Surprisingly fresh and lively. Notes of honey. flowers, spice and cotton candy on the nose. Supple fruit on the palate with vibrant but not edgy acidity. A very good bottle.

Very young. Lemon zest, minerals, and racy acidity. Hints of buttered toast and cream. Took some time in the glass to open up. A great wine in the making. Needs time.
