A volatile streak on the nose, then strawberries and red cherries, violets after some time in the glass. The wine definitely needs some air, and the volatile elements diminishes with time in the glass. The palate is very fruit driven, on the warmer side, though not sur-maturité. Both red fruit but also quite a bit of blue fruit. Some vosne spices, soft and pleasing palate. A very enjoyable wine, though the volatile nose is a minus...

Opened a magnum for CNY dinner. Comes across as a bit thin immediately upon opening but opens up nicely with about 30 min of air in the open bottle. Nice red and dark fruit, spices. Certainly a nice 1er from Vosne Romanee but was hoping just for a bit more fireworks given the overall vintage quality... 91-92

Rubino carico, naso leggero legno dolce, spezie piccanti, pepe bianco, amarena netta, nota verde di tè. Bocca suntuosa, fruttata, ampia, manca un pochino di spinta acida.

La Paulée de San Francisco - Grand Tasting (The Fairmont - San Francisco CA): Tasting, brief note. Bright red fruit with savory spice, so classically Vosne. Good weight and length. Very good depth, especially on finish. Best to cellar for a decade.
