I was expecting more based on the critic and CT reviews. There is some lovely red and black fruit notes with some oak. Some more exotic aromas like violets are lurking but inconsistent. There is still a good deal of structure and some tannin. I think this is the less common type of 2011 that still would benefit from more aging and I expect a hiring score in the future.

Opened for an hour and can smell the bouquet 6 feet away. Good but of acidity in this one given the colder lieu dit influence, this is better as a food wine, and has a good tartness and freshness but showing integration and roundness already. Good value.

Boys' Vosne Romanee Long Lunch (Artyzen Club, Shun Tak Centre, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong): Totally transparent, brightly jewelled ruby colour. Nose is classic sous-bois and wild woodland strawberries along with "smoke on the water" (to quote Dominik). Palate is absolutely gorgeous.....similar to the nose. Very resonant and reverberant inside the head on the finish. Gorgeous and my wine of the lunch, even though I generally prefer my Burgundy with one or two decades more age. 93+

Nydelig og åpen på nese. Dyp og jordlig med noe modning. Sammensatt i munn med flott lengde. Null 11-typisitet her.
