A nice teenage burg but nothing to write home about. Doesn't have the fireworks one would usually expect from the vineyard but a nice drink nonetheless. Drink or hold.

(Bourée Pierre Fils Vosne-Romanée Les Malconsorts) Medium, medium-plus colour. The nose, whilst still reasonably primary, sets high expectations; heavy with red fruit concentrate against higher tones of stems and, if you don’t swirl, an understated pot-pourri of herbs. In the mouth there is some fat, then acidity that finishes just a little tart - like under-ripe - before a very nice extra dimension of creamy fruit. The understated finish, whilst long, seems to pick-up a slightly metallic note from that acidity. I’ve never been acid averse, so despite this being less than perfect, there’s enough character here for me to buy a couple more (it’s anyway a good price) for later reflection.

Decanted three hours. Showing well with savory black raspberry and herbs on a bed of woody tannins. A nice slow sipper.
