Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Saturday, April 20, 2019 - 2018 Visit to Domaine Anne Gros with Julie Tollot (Vosne-Romanée): A gorgeous nose - fragrant red and black fruit - fresh and breezy with smoky bonfire and violet perfumes. Drinking similarly, precise, polished fruit. Clean and elegant. Lighter bodied but bright and vivid. I had an interesting conversation with Julie about this cuvée in different vintages. I said that I liked it from a warmer vintage but less so in a leaner, cooler year. Julie agreed, saying "it is a special cuvée from an extreme position in Vosne-Romanée ... that benefits from a warmer vintage", noting she very much likes the 2003, 2005 and 2015. 2013 and 2016 were "catastrophic" vintages, with 2014 just "ok". We discussed the 2007, which Julie likes but "drink soon". She thought that the 2017 might drink similarly to the 2007, that I took her to mean, being attractive and accessible throughout its life, but relatively short-lived (around 10+ years, at its best).
