Quite nice darker fruit, good fine structure, with a silkiness and creaminess on the palate. If I didn't know what this was, I might have guessed a Morey wine, with its somewhat darker profile. Tasty and enjoyable.

Another Saturday at Chevalier...Mostly Blind (Chevalier Fine Wines - Chicago IL): Small glass, brief note. Black fruit with sweet spice, clearly in a very ripe package, possibly slightly more advanced than I expect from the best 2006s. Rather firm finish. Good balance overall. We had an interesting discussion whether this is at its peak or fading or has upside. Tough to say for certain, but if I had one bottle I would hold it a few more years before trying again.

Drank with the wine maker, surprisingly this bottle is holding up well after 6 years! Very pure fruited, fragrant with red floral notes, light palate. Better drink now than later.

It's among the best LB VR Colombiere. Bouquet is not Roch/Leroy type perfume but very strong and energetic. Fruits are delicious and acidity is in balance. Nonetheless, still prefer the LB VR village more than this.

Initially, delicious bright red fruit and wonderful vosne spice. Forward but with such balance, no harshness from oak. Quite elegant. Light but not lacking on the palate.
24 hours later, adds a layer of depth and complexity. Punches at a 1er cru Dujac level. Delicious. Wonderful with roast squab.

At Nimb. Very open and seductive nose. Elegant notes of light red fruit, cinnamon, cloves, and something plastic I can't put words on. On the palate, it is very easy to drink, good balance, low tannins, not at all closed, and good length. Lovely for a village!

Completely ready to drink and very mature. Browning edges, sweet fruit and resolved tannins. Good? Yes. But very advanced for a 10 year old.

really nice, pure sweet fruit. Slightly clipped on the back end (expected based on the youth) but vibrant soft fruit.

Quality village. Some maturity already. Pure, distinct and elegant fruit. Very Vosne in character.

still very fruity after 1 hour bottle breath; tannin is tamed; spices and cherries based aroma; good structure; subtle acidity

Very good village that is fragrant, supple, very enjoyable, deeper than the Clos du chateau from the same vintage.
