Rich fruit is well balanced with mineral and structured elegance. Very bright start-to-finish. Very good now with upside as the richness softens even further.

Black and red cherry with fully engaging Asian five spice, this seems so nicely "Vosne." Clearly ripe, but easily balanced. Wonderful right now.

From 3L directly from the domaine. Red cherry throughout with some Indian spice hints. There is a faint underripe note in the middle, but this finishes with charming red cherry.

Rich and very enjoyable, but there is a slightly hollow middle that follows the ripe black fruit start. Certainly easy to enjoy, but I don't see any upside from here.

Magnums directly from the domaine. Wonderfully combines rich opulence of peach and poached pear with steely minerality. If blind, I'd have thought this from a better, younger vintage.

Fresh and dried apricot with marzipan and candied orange rind. Very good flavors, but it didn't seem to have the energy on finish I tend to enjoy from great Sauternes.

Small glass, brief note. Great depth and concentration, clearly Grand Cru. Fully evolved into a charming wine perhaps slightly past its peak, showing bittersweet mint chocolate notes. Very enjoyable.

Small glass, brief note. All mushroom and earth.

Small glass, brief note. Black fruits with meaty character and lots of power. Slightly flashy aromas, then less flash and lots of substance and concentration on the palate. Very good length. Gevrey comes through very nicely here, with the Leroy style playing a perfect supporting role.

Small glass, brief note. Very dense, meaty and powerful black cherry and plum. Long and still slightly brooding. Very good now. Upside from here.

Oxidized.

Initially this was thought to be dead, but I tasted it several hours after being opened and found it classically Vosne with blacker fruit and spice hints, albeit certainly very mature and advanced.
