100% Pinot Noir from the monopole vineyard of the Gros family, the 2,12-hectare 1er Cru Clos des Réas. Average vineyard age 40 years. Aged for 18 months in oak pièces (typically 50-70% new). Annual production 10,000 bottles. 13% alcohol. Tasted blind.
Deep, somewhat evolved and surprisingly opaque dark cherry color. The nose is fragrant - even somewhat perfumed - yet at the same time relatively savory with aromas of violets and developed meaty character, some spicy notes of coniferous forest, a little bit of crunchy red fruit, light peppery tones, a hint of ripe raspberry and a touch of cranberry. The wine feels ripe, savory and vibrant on the palate with a medium body and intense flavors of gamey meat and ripe red plum, some tart lingonberry, light gravelly mineral tones, a little bit of spicy and slightly peppery Pinosity, a woody hint of savory oak spice and a touch of ripe raspberry. The wine is high in acidity with firm medium tannins. The finish is savory, dry and gently grippy with a dry aftertaste of crunchy red plum and cranberry, some ferrous notes of blood, a little bit of gravelly minerality, light sweeter notes of ripe dark berries, a woody hint of savory oak spice and a touch of spicy Pinosity.
A very nice, harmonious and sophisticated wine. I actually wrote in my original tasting notes how the wine seemed quite like Pinot Noir, yet I went for a more obscure Southwestern France wine instead, mainly because the wine was pretty muscular and especially so atypically dark in color for a Pinot Noir - I thought there was no way this was a Pinot! Oh well. Nevertheless, this was a very enjoyable and balanced effort - and I'm surprised if the wine sees that much new oak, since the wine didn't come across as particularly oaky at any point! Either the wine carries its new oak remarkably well, or it has integrated wonderfully with the fruit in these dozen-plus years. All in all, the wine is still pretty youthful - apart from those slightly evolved meaty tones - so most likely this wine will continue to age gracefully for another decade or two. Lovely.

Vosne 1er crus (Taste Paradise, Ion Orchard): My contribution. Drinking very well and I do think some 2009s can be broached now as they begin to show glimpses of their potential. Quite structured and more muscular than most of the line-up. In terms of quality I thought this was up there with the Hudelot-Noellat but it was a matter of stylistic preference as there was quite an even split between the two wines. Has room for improvement to develop greater depth.

Medium red; plum with some vanilla, slightly faint in the nose; rounded, in balance on the acidic side, earthy notes, long aftertaste; fine, but not singing

With enough air to open this was showing well and one of the wines of the evening. Dark fruit, plenty of structure under the ripe, concentrated fruit. Should improve with age. A-

the notes from 2018 and 2019 say it very well, this has the big body of an '09 and (as one of those notes said) "bright black fruit" (which seems like a misnomer, but it fits anyway), for pinot this was a bit 'bulky' but with very good flavor, liked this -- even tho it isn't my favorite style (I prefer more red fruit and elegance)... but I think this can get a lot better with another 5/10/15 years... I was hovering between 91 & 92 on this night, so there is a little future anticipated on my ultimate rating of 92

Clos des Réas 2006-2011. Clos des Réas is a 2.1245 ha vineyard surrounded by a very tall stone wall. Clos des Réas is located below Vosne-Romanee Les Chaumes. First wine of the second flight. Typical '09 richness, very seductive. Round with a beautiful balance.

At opening this showed a fair amount of oak, but nice concentration of fruit. Was hoping for it to open as previous bottles have but it seemed to close up with air, and so may be going through a phase and need some time in the bottle. Try another in a couple of years? A-?

Nose has bright black fruit, oak and citrus. Palate is still a bit oaky which will take time to integrate. The wine has very high acidity with good volume. I think it has upside from here with aging.

Burgundy Dinner Christmas 2017 (Imperial Treasure Fine Teochew Cuisine): Tasted blind. Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs. Nose medium+ intensity, with aromas of iron minerality, dirty earth, dark leather, ripe dark red cherries, bits of smoked meat. Developing. On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), fine high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of ripe sweet dark red cherries, dark leather, earth, iron minerality, chocolate, cigar ash. Long finish. Very good quality. Lovely complex and layered masculine Pinot. I was guessing Gevrey Chambertin Premier Cru here, possibly a Cazetiers. My first time trying a Clos des Reas. Really good stuff. Many in the group liked this.

Monthly Tuesday group "The Dead Sparrow" #023; Vosne Romanée (By VD): The bouquet is spicy and still a bit locked. Also roasted meat, smoke, laurel and toast. On the palate the same impressions, red berries, some leather, chocolate juicy acidity and round tannin with a pleasant bite. Overall a complex and very pleasant wine with at least 5+ years of future. For me the WOTN.

Decanted for two hours, this beguiling beauty charmed with ripe raspberry,cherry, and cassis fruit leading with enticing aromas. Textured and smooth, loving in the mouth, the middle weight flavors caress and coat all the way to the silky and insinuating spice finish.

The wine upon opening had a rich smokiness with a lot of bacon fat on the nose. Was a bit angular first taste on the palate. While the fruit is fading it is remains still in balance with tannins and acidity. After 1 hour it was incredibly elegant again with the rich smokiness, iron, bacon and now red cherry fruit. My only concern with my limited knowledge is if this wine has much left. The color was subdued and rusted to the rim so it showed and tasted it's age which is a good thing but then is it past its prime I just don't know. I only wish I had more to see if it holds up. My final thought was how beautiful it is that we can share our differences on CT. I for one definitely felt this was more old school then was described in another note. Now it was hard core old school but I couldn't put it in a category of new world and I thought the oak was well integrated. Viva la difference.

Popped and poured. This was bright medium red in color, showing ripe cherry fruit and oak on the nose at opening. With just 30 minutes of air this really showed pretty well, and at an hour it was wide open. Nothing too complex, but just bright and open framed by the oak. Will be a crowd pleaser and remarkably open now. A-

ot much has happened since last time I had a bottle of this. At that point I clearly overrated this wine, compared to tonight’s showing. Normaly Clos de Reas is always such a good wine, in every vintage I have had. Still very vintage typical, with all the 2009 characteristics. Big, deep and dark sweet fruited, animal nose, fur, oak spices, smoked sausage and very concentrated. Meaty, fat deep somewhat sweet and full bodied fruit on the palate, with some un-integrated fruit. A truly fantastic strike of acidity on the long finish saves this wine from being way too much and over the top. I my opinion this needs more time thought, to settle and level out. (88 - 90)

Nez très expressif, fruit rouge et fougères. La bouche est bien riche, poivrée et fruitée, charmeuse, assez puissante, c'est délicieux. La richesse aromatique est impressionnante et permet au vin de s'afficher pleinement et de nous charmer, bien qu'il suive deux vins à maturité, qui paraissent plus aboutis. 93 pts

Very nice and drinkable, and quite elegant for being a 2009 Burgundy. Perhaps a bit too much wood for my liking, and also the trademark dense fruit profile of the vintage? Spicy and with some smoked meat and pepper, booth on the nose and in the mouth when firsts opened, almost a little bit like a Syrah wine. Have noticed the same thought in several 2009 Burg’s, but this blow off after some time in the air, and showed nice mature strawberries and lovely wild strawberries on the nose, with a hint of earth. On the palate the fruit gives an expensive impression, and there is a streak of mineral behind it all, giving hope for future development. Very approachable and quite enjoyable now, but I think that this will level out somewhat and become more complex and less forward with additional cellar time. Still, a really good wine.

Vosne Romanee and Flagey-Echezeaux (Beltramo's, Menlo Park): Medium red. Attractive scents of char and some perfume. The oak is not subtle here either but neither is it overwhelming. Strong red and black fruit. This is sappy and meaty at the cost of losing some detail. That said, it is quite tasty and approachable, with some charred meat reappearing on the finish. Another wine with early appeal.

Opened and poured, this wine began with assertive aromatics of various spice elements with subtle underlying red cherry notes. Airing relegates the spice notes to the background and brings darker fruits notes forward. The color is a medium dark, youthful ruby. The medium bodied palate shows balance, definition and youthful nuance. The wine does begin to close down after being open for about an hour. Based on this bottle, the wine will benefit from a couple of years of additional bottle age.

score is for night three on this wine, somewhat tight on nights one and two on the nose and the palate but could get the red fruit and mineral content (esp on night one), then came night three -- big strawberry and bright cherry on the nose, same on the palate with awesome powdery tannins and some light spice, mouthfeel is that fantastic texture thing that burgundy can deliver, awesome... if i were to drink this now i'd decant all day or open and double decant and drink the next day or two

Serveras dekanterad vilket är helt korekt med tanke på åldern Bourgogne som är väldigt kryddig och bärig i doften. Eken är mer tydligt i smak än i doft men lite vanilj kan skönjas. Ganska pepprig smak med bra syra men levererar inte helt. Lite spretig och väl kort eftersmak. En bra borugogne men inte mer.

Beautiful golden label celebrating the 150th anniversary of the vinyard in the hands of the Gros'. And a beautiful content. Very elegant Vosne 1er Cru. Vosne spice and wood smoke initially on the nose. Light on its feet with lots of cherries and strawberries. Lovely wine.
