2010 Domaine de L'Arlot Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
(3/21/2012)
Wine tasting. Strawberry and red cherry to start with plenty of alluring baking spice. Great cherry flavors that come across as big and powerful. Mouth coating tannins, with big fruit and spice re-emerging on long finish. To me, this has exciting 91-92 point potential.

(3/21/2012)

2010 Comte Armand Pommard 1er Cru Clos des Epeneaux

Wine tasting. Racked last week. Mostly red fruit aromas with delicate floral touch, some tarragon and vanilla. Palate shows both black and red cherry with very elegant silky tannins. Long, broad finish. This has huge potential, but like most good vintages of this wine will probably need 10 years to show well and 20 years to reach its full potential. Impressive. I will be excited to compare and contrast this to its also wonderful 2009 counterpart 10 years from now.

France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
(3/22/2012)
Wine tasting. Good black and red fruit aromas with classically Vosne spice. Less exciting on the palate today, showing some rustic tannins that get n the way of the high quality fruit and spice. Perhaps this will soften and increase its elegance in another decade.

2010 Domaine G. Roumier / Christophe Roumier Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Cras
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
(3/22/2012)
Wine tasting. Excellent for its level, and for me a big step up in quality over the MSD Bussiere. Aromas of bright red cherry, strawberry and sweet spice while also slightly floral. Palate shows slightly more lean red and black cherry, perfectly supported with great minerality, acidity and sneaky good tannins. Powerful, expanding finish. This is a wine I like in almost every vintage, but the 2010 vintage exceeds expectations.

2010 Domaine G. Roumier / Christophe Roumier Bonnes Mares
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Bonnes Mares Grand Cru
(3/22/2012)
Wine tasting. Mostly ripe black cherry aromas, with cocoa, licorice, black pepper and floral hints in background. Palate also shows mostly black cherry, dense, chewy and concentrated. Serious, very long and powerful. Spice re-emerges at the finish. Perhaps not as great as Roumier's 2009 Bonnes Mares which I had the good fortune to try from barrel at the Domaine in late 2010...but that was the greatest young Bonnes Mares I've ever tasted.

(3/21/2012)
Wine tasting. Perfumed nose to start, very appealing with great cherry aromas. Today the black fruit flavors are a bit dense and bulky, but there is substantial extract and concentration. Long finish might not be nuanced today but shows good long-term potential.
