1996 Dominique Laurent Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Rouges Serie Rare

A Serie Rare bottling. Dark with some bricking at the edge. Smooth and rich, deep wine, long taste, lots of fruit, very satisfying. This wine outlasted the outlandish oak that Laurent used in 1996. Ready to drink. Recommended. -JBL

1976 Domaine Drouhin-Laroze Bonnes Mares

Bricking at the edge and a crystal orange glow to the entire glass of ruby colored wine. Aromas of cherry licorice, strawberries, leather, and a bit of mushroom and forest floor that blows off with airing. Nice fresh, tart strawberries in the taste, cherry licorice. Fresh and lively with good mid-palate and a long taste. Absolutely smooth. The tannins are completely resolved in this 34 year old marvel. Medium bodied and highly recommended. -JBL

Slightly brown at the edges. Not much aroma on this wine, and not much going on in the glass. Well made, balanced, predominantly licorice with some dark fruits, cedar, a candy-like sweetness, and unresolved tannins. The tannins say this wine is young, but the brown at the edge say it is mature. Medium bodied. Consumed within an hour of opening. Probably would benefit from decanting. -JBL
