Starts off a little tart. Then comes around quite quickly with a bit of air. Earth, high pitched cranberry, very good mouthfeel and very elegant. Could do with a tiny bit more stuffing, it's a tad lean but so nice in an autumnal way. Lovely village for sure. If it had some more core sweetness it could be exceptional but it is just shy of that. So while great MG Vosne village isn't quite up there with the Champions league (think Comte Liger Belair) but it's one of the best of the rest. But feels like it's time to drink up over the next 3-5 years as my fear is that the tartness is just going to get more pronounced and the fruit will fade which could render it too "sour" soon.

More buttoned up than the last time I tried it. I'd drink these up, there's plenty of fruit but no real structure left. Enjoy them while the fruit is fresh and kicking.

2007 Burgs, round 1 (Noize): Hard to assess this one. At first there's plenty of gamey aroma to enjoy, whilst the palate is a little clipped, but with air and food things broaden and the reserved acidity becomes an asset rather than a hindrance. Not a sin to open this tonight, and enjoyable, but it's a bit rigid and there's probably more to come.

I was frankly disappointed when opened- tart cranberry and raspberry, all acid, seemingly short finish. But revisited later that night better, and much better on day 2. Still red fruit and acid, but more balanced, with sandalwood and spice and longer minerally finish. On day 2 B+. 2007 is supposed to be the drink now vintage but I think I'll hold remainder a bit (or open earlier in day).

Salmon and Pinot Noir at Rocknrollers (Minneapolis, MN): Earth, minerals, cherry and wood. Medium finish. Solid wine overall but hard to get past the price point when you can go to Oregon and get so much more for half the price.

Pinots and Salmon (Rocknroller's (Kevin & Vicki's Place)): Medium red color. Splash decanted, drank a glass over an hour. This sreally took its time to evolve. Cherry, red fruits, mineral, spice, white pepper on the nose. The palate is cherry, wood spices, mineral, white pepper, still firm tannins. Over time we get more earth, darker red fruits and some charcoal. 89+ to 90pts.

5/6, excellent cork. Medium garnet core, pale garnet rim. Nose is dark fruited, some liquorice and smoke, florals. A touch subdued. Medium bodied, dark-fruited, touch of soil and liquorice, vibrant acidity, slightly firm tannins showing on the finish. A touch leaner, bonier, less glossy and exuberant than previously, perhaps this was better 5 years ago.

Blind tasted and glad I hadn't paid for it! Discrete nose with hints of root beer and alcohol. Overiding taste of orange peel. Tight on the palate, acidic and astringent and short to boot. I can't get no satisfaction! Other tasters preferred this style to the richer Arnoux 2005 Chaumes. Beats me...

Seriously lovely bottle, and fully ready to go, drinking beautifully now. There is structure but it is gentle, the aromatics are classic Vosne, with cumin seed and bright red fruit, and a leafy/earthy secondary tone. This is a soft-spoken wine, but has a lot to say, very classy and elegant. Delicious and expressive on the palate, which shows a great balance of fruit and spice. The wine began to lose potency after two hours open and I think, if this is a representative bottle, should be drunk in the near-term, as it is delicious and expressive and it's hard to imagine it improving from here.

So this needed a good hour plus of air. When first opened this wasnt good. Almost rancid. After 30 minutes with some swirling it started to get better. The last glass the best. Some Vosne spices, cherries, charcoal and ash. Medium complexity and length. A decent villages wine.

This was quite delicious. Maybe a bit muddled due to the vintage, but everything was there- some Vosne-ness, complexity on the back end, good weight / texture. This is a compelling drink now and may ease into a better place if the texture turns more velvety or the Vosne-ness comes out more prominently. But if you got it- a bird in the hand, and all that.

Rich ruby with a hint of brown at the rim and medium optical density. Wonderful intensity nose, with bright cherry, earth, and lifted florals, along with some savory smoked bacon notes woven in. Refreshing acidity, medium body, very dry, and with well integrated tannins, it shows an elegant, but rich mouthfeel that is smooth, yet clean. Flavours on the attack are bright red fruits (cherry, raspberry) and earthy mushroom, with a firm midpalate that adds clean pipe tobacco and florals to the still vivid fruit. The finish is long, with savory, smoky character above baking spices and earth-laden fruit peels. Very well balanced, with vivid fruit, refreshing acid, just enough tannin to clean up the finish, and a variety of interesting earth, smoke, florals, and spice to provide a ton of interest. Really nice bottle, and is drinking really well!

A little bit on the current downswing, if based on TNs written a few years ago (and memory :-)). This is closer to being a fairly pedestrian mid-80s-to-slightly-higher wine right now. Oak made it better earlier? Hard to guess (though hope not..), but don't open again till Fall 2017 in the name of 'science'...

Pale/medium ruby/garnet core, wide pale garnet rim. Aromatic, potpourri of red and purple fruits, very floral, haunting.

Attractive medium/deep cherry/garnet core with a medium pale rim. On the nose this shows perfumed, polished dark cherry fruit, notes of plum and earth, vanilla. Medium bodied on the palate, seamless very fine tannins, dark fruit, now deliciously spicy as well as sensuous and glossy, lovely vibrant acidity carrying a good length finish. Classy and excellent without having to try too hard.

The best of four bottles. Smooth and spherical in the mouth. It didn't have that mosquito repellant tincture that was worrisome in my first bottle and many other non-Volnay 2007s. Cranberry juice, earth and spice. It had the M-G polish, but preserved it's sense of place. Outstanding.

Pale/medium bright ruby core, pale ruby rim. Perfumed nose with black cherry and plum fruit, vanilla, a minerally and spicy edge.

Classy village Vosne.

Delicious stuff. Kind of new world-y, but better. Mouthfeel sets it apart (and lower alcohol). Impeccable balance except for a touch of awkwardness (hard to characterize) on the finish.

Tasted one day after trying the cracking good '06 (see TN). High-toned kirsch on the nose, with nuances of blood orange, spices, and freshly chopped herbs, framed by tangy acidity. Moderately long, iron/mineral-driven finish. Increasingly complex with air. The palate seems a tad leaner and tarter than the '06, and not as meaty/savory -- perhaps simply because it's a year younger? Another impressive effort, which at this early stage I would peg as just a touch less special than the '06.

A very nice village wine that reaffirms my faith in the 2007 vintage in Burgundy. Complex enough, long enough, full enough (seems to have put on weight since I tasted this in barrel). Balanced, with plenty of acidic structure. Though like other 2007's, there's a bit of mealiness to the texture. Should be a relatively early drinker, but still, better then than now. Will likely try again in a couple of years to see.

This middleweight is all about texture. A high-toned nose of cranberries and earth introduces a silky palate showing crushed raspberries and a drop or two of soy.

Pale/medium bright ruby core, pale ruby rim. Nose is open with fresh, youthful raspberry and red cherry fruit, vanilla, a slight spicy earth edge. Medium bodied on the palate, but very graceful and elegant, light on its feet but with deceptive, if not exceptional depth of fruit. Showing fresh red cherry and raspberry fruit, with vanilla on the mid-palate, very refined tannins, fresh acidity and a slight earthy/minerally edge on the medium/good length finish. A lovely 07.
