An excellent Vosne for the price. Dark red and merging with orange hue near the rim. Red fruited but deep and has clove, spice, oak with a Christmas pudding characteristic. Everything I want in a village Vosne. This is not ‘big’ by any means and has excellent balance, density and persistence. Fine grained tannins, but very slightly dusty. If I was being picky the finish is slightly dry but not enough to deter me from drinking this endlessly. I’ve had many bottles of this and really appreciate the value.

Enjoyed this with friends at a steak dinner. One of the best from wines from Tuscany. Tannin, power, fruit, acid. Everything you want in a wine like this. Buy this a million times over. This is just going to get better and better with time.

Minimum 10 years off being ready. Sour cherry, boysenberry, rhubarb, white pepper. Super high acid and tightly wound. Decanted for 2 hours and no changes. I can see the potential because of the acid, but this hadn’t developed any tertiary characters and was really quite simple at this early stage in its life. I was quite disappointed after reading the previous review because my bottle was not the same wine. This hadn’t developed much at all, and like Allen Meadows suggested, needs 20-30 years to evolve. Seriously wait another 10 years.
