Community Tasting Note

• Keith Levenberg wrote: 83 points

  April 13, 2016 - Silky and harmonious, as Petits Monts should be. However, this tastes very advanced for its age, no primary fruit left whatsoever and instead it has a leathery character very reminiscent of tempranillo. If this were a 20-year-old Rioja I'd be a fan but it's not an encouraging profile for a Vosne-Romanee 2 or 3 years past release.

As such, what is the point of assigning a score and calling the wine "advanced for its age"? As for noting no primary fruit left, that of course is not uncommon for Burgundies going through a closed phase, but you seem to think it is definitive. On what basis?
