Actually quite enjoyed this nose which featured pronounced cigar tobacco leaf, damp leather, drying plum fruit, and dusty soil. Traces of brett. Not much generosity of fruit on the palate with massive and super dry tannin. Clipped, short, and dry finish. Austere in the mouth. Interesting to try but not particularly complex or engaging. How this strip of vineyard is sandwiched between La Tâche and Romanée-Conti and yields something so odd is still bizarre to this Vosne enthusiast. Enjoyed drinking it, but a solid meh if critical.

A somewhat disappointing bottle; seems there is not sufficient fruit here; a bit dry and short. Similar to the 2001 Grande Rue that has also been disappointing.

平淡稀薄的果味基本被甘草、巧克力和中草药的香气所掩盖,在皮革和更多陈年气息弥散后,成熟黑李子的果香才在口中变得明显,集中度出色。酸度被收敛感击溃,强壮的单宁更加突出了它严肃的一面,以至于略显沉重。

Still showing too much acidity of the vintage, good density though.

A huge wine. Big acidity and tannins. Iodine notes on the finish. Tasted over 3 nights and it never softened. Not great.
