95 Points

Saturday, September 21, 2019 - I was skeptical of some of the recent notes indicating this might be ready to go, but it is indeed in a good spot and has mellowed and shed its tannins much quicker than I would have figured possible. The aromas segue from green stems on opening to the classic Vosne cinnamon spice with more air. The fruit, which used to be so dark with an element of sur-maturite bordering on figgy, has mellowed into pale crimson tones with a gentle concentration - more watercolor than oil. After an hour or so in the decanter to smooth out some of the spiky stemminess the texture turns to pure silk. But while this is in a beautiful spot it's still not a mature wine - so satisfying to drink but probably needs a decade to peak.
