  • Really strong showing. Classic Vosne spices and Richebourg character. Quite pretty at this stage. Has a nice sweetness. Lots of nuance with red and dark berries, spices and good fruit. Complex and integrated. Really fantastic.

  • A very nice bottle, with the understated side typical of 83's. I really liked it, as did the table.

  • It was sweet and cool with an underlying base of cherry stone. There were some compost and rose petal notes and it had good flesh and excellent cut to the finish.

  • From an excellent looking bottle, this wine very deep red center and orange rims. The high- intensity nose was ethereal, showing violets, black cherries, oranges, and soil.

    In the mouth, this wine was attractive right out of the gate and then became withdrawn. It slowly opened again over the course of several hours. The wine was medium bodied with notable rounded tannin, solid acidity, and excellent length. The nose was quite floral but the mouth was serious and more mineral oriented.

    The nose on this wine was in the 96-97 point range and the mouth was in the 94-95 point range. I don't see upside for this wine so it is time to find a reason to pop the cork.

  • From a nice looking bottle with a 3 cm fill, this wine had a red center and tawny rims. The high- intensity nose took a couple hours to open up. Afterwards it showed rhubarb, roses, brown spices, and sous bois.

    In the mouth, this wine was light and refined with attractive rounded tannin. It had gorgeous balance and great length.

    This is a first class wine that appears to be at its peak. Enjoy over the next 5+ years.
