  This wine was a very pure expression of Vosne Romanee with lovely intensity that became more focussed with time in the glass and which belied its Village status. The colour was pale with a tawny edge and the nose showed classic Vosne dark fruits with a touch of oriental spice. The palate showed a very pure linear intensity of dark berry fruits that tailed off softly into a nicely persistent finish.

  3rd of 4. Red brown, quite closed on nose. Elegant, restrained warm berry fruit with hints of undergrowth in background. Good balance and the impression it will continue to develop nicely. Drunk with duck breast and ceps; well matched as no strong flavours. 4+/5

  No contemporaneous note. Took a bottle 3 nights ago to a Peter Sidebotham offline in York, with Mark Gough, David Bennett, Simon Beatty et al. Not decanted - it should have been. Full slightly opaque colour. Quite restrained on the nose, but essence of Vosne on the palate, although could still use a few more years. Delicious but not wholly friendly, and very much a 1995. Tasted blind, many thought it a Grand Cru, and none of us could imagine how Lalou Bize-Leroy conjures such a very fine wine out of a mere village lieu-dit. Astonishingly good, ridiculous price (but I bought it en primeur, so not prohibitive back then), will leave my other 3 bottles for another 5 years or so.
