  A favorite of mine last tasted in 2018. It's lost a tiny bit of the flint but gained a whole lot of crunch - mouthfeel is silky but really pops, fruit is bright and full of savory character. Complex, interesting, rewarding, lively wine, packed with spice and red fruit. Grippy dusty tannins really seize your gums on the finish, and the finish is quite long - among the longest I can recall.

  Drinking very well- spices (cardamom?) and red fruit. Lovely texture in the context of the vintage (satiny but a bit lean). Some tannins after being open for several hours. If I were to guess- the texture probably gets better from here, but aromatically it's on a plateau. I.e., feels early side of peak, but a few more years might do this well.

  Bright red fruits on the nose. The palate has notes of strawberry, raspberry and violets. There is plenty of mouth puckering acidity and freshness, in keeping with the vintage. The wine will certainly keep for a while.

  Fantastic Burgundy - the first I can remember that has such a clear 'flint' component to it, as I'd expect from a white Burgundy. Bright red fruits, earthy, but crisp and light on the palate. Fantastic.

  Casual (Mostly) Burg Dinner (S.K.Y. Restaurant - Chicago IL): Red cherry and Asian five spice aromas with floral hints. Similar flavors with rounded, soft textures, moderate weight and good balance. So beautifully and prototypically Vosne. Very good now, so much smoother/better vs when last tasted 4 years ago.
