  Evolved, savory, garden rich vegetable smell. And savory on the palate. Very long and savory. Long fresh and finish.

  Pale, light bodied, but still vigorous, lifted and sappy, really lovely.

  Blind (without answer). Easily the oldest Vosne-smelling wine with charming sweetness but evidently shorter finish than the rest. Very good condition of this wine, especially given the DRC performances in this vintage, and probably at the top of older DRC Eche candidates. 93-94

  Good looking bottle, nice fill. The bottle had been stood up, cork duly fell in. Ripped the foil off and got stuck into it and it did not disappoint. There was some smoked meats, Hoisin and moss to begin with. With air wild strawberry fruit appeared and there was black earth, rose petals and freshly grated ginger. Structural elements are completely resolved and the fruits have a lightly honeyed quality. It is silky and full and quite beautiful, with a persistent finish that fans out.

  Lucky to have this again after 4.5 years and this bottle was as good as the last one. Explosive, seductive nose of smoky red and black cherry laced with Vosne spice. The palate has GC concentration with a velvety, non-stop mouthfeel. Long, enticing finish.
