France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Tasting at Lamarche. Riper vs previous cuvees, so both providing more near-term enjoyment and concentration. Red fruit again with spice hints. 88-89 point potential.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Tasting at Lamarche. An interesting contrast to Malconsorts just tasted, this already comes across as forward and enjoyable, but less powerful or concnetrated. Good weight and length. Also 89-91 point potential.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Tasting at Lamarche. Similar to the Echezeaux, but less elegant, more powerful. Red fruit throughout with medium weight for Grand Cru. 88-90 point potential. Needs time, 2018-.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Grands-Echezeaux Grand Cru
Tasting at Lamarche. Lots of red fruit with very engaging spice. Lots of concentration, but also lots of structure. Seems so well balanced, but so big that I expect it will might many twists and turns in bottle. A very big step up from the rest of the lineup today, seeming to be on par with Grande Rue tasted next. 92-94 point potential.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, La Grande Rue Grand Cru
Tasting at Lamarche. Great array of red fruit with Asian five spice. More forward and elegant vs Grands Echezeaux, even if less concentrated. Also 92-94 point potential, but I expect earlier drinking here. 92-94 point potential.
