  Burgundy WIMPS 2022 (La Trompette, Chiswick): This is great from the first sip. Sous bois with the caramelised redcurrants on the nose to start as well as some charred cherries. Palate has good bite and the acidity is perfectly balanced with the fine and more-ish tannins. There’s some bacon fat too and a suggestion of blood orange marmelade. A little rhubarb emerges in time. A lovely drop.

  Light ruby red, translucent. Nose offers up primary small red fruits, spice and cofeee. Lovely balance of fruit, acid and silky tannins. Drinking very well now but wil keep and improve over 10 yrs. Very similar to 2000 vintage.

  Not decanted. Minor brown-red fruit, trace dried earth, definitely foxy. Feral; if that possibly being part of an arguably relatively thin and bitter aromatic. Bright, lively. Something a little blocked in flavour expression; then dry. Probably to open out? High, angular acid physically compels a smile. A little crisp tannin in the finish. Some could call that combination screechy and scratchy. However, that would only be without food, and surely no one would drink a 1er Cru Vosne without food? A flicker of pale boiled sweet. Switching from a 'Burgundy' glass to a tasting glass, the nose was actually better! It let the limited threads of red fruit to be brought together, giving the wine a more complete/attractive aromatic density. That was true on tasting an hour before the meal and again during it. This has me leaning towards the modernist view/interpretation of light-vintage now-fading fruit meaning to drink up in the next three years. However, AL, from tasting two other bottles, observed black and red fruit on the palate; which presumably could become airborne in turn. He read as being a 15-20 yr wine (from vintage). Is also a chance that the fruit expression was a little structure-blocked tonight. Even if my negative insight was correct, there's still a chance that with age, it'll become a wine with a big cloud of tertiary aromatics, and be fun for that. S really liked it. To me, 91-92 for now, 91.
