  March 29, 2024 - I'm a big admirer of Jean Grivot's wines and having never tried Vosne-Romanée from Les Rouges, I thought I'd give this bottle a go at 67 Pall Mall in London despite the poor reviews below. A pristine bottle, this was a superstar on the night, just entering its peak. The nose felt mature, boasting leather and chocolate with a lovely raspberry undercut. But the palate shone bright as cranberries and redcurrants added life to the upfront before tobacco and lavender created a good sense of power in the mid-palate. The finish boasted silky tannins, complimented by a licorice note. This wine was a joy to discover.

  May 22, 2023 - Slightly corked - enough to overshadow what seemed to be a good wine underneath.

  August 4, 2012 - Tannic grippy and sappy red with some tea leaves and ash. Good structure and grippy. Will age well

  January 2, 2010 - perfumed nose almost barolo-esq, oppulent palette but ultimately lacking in focus, medium to short finish.
