Medium to light body but lots of concentration. Slightly too much acid on its own. When I had let this go 6+ hours, it seemed to go dumb, but it also feels primary before that. Still, this is pretty pleasing to my palate. I usually prefers a Volnay, Chambolle or Morey to a Vosne. Drank this w/ some taleggio cheese after a couple hour decant. Drank the rest of the bottle through coravin a couple other nights (with anywhere from 2-6 hours in the glass).

Can’t put it better than Ryan Foss did two years ago, and the wine hasn’t changed much since then. Starts very high toned and uncoils with a nice decant. Eventually shows some papery subtlety. Probably at peak in 2021 but not necessary to hold off.

Man I'm sad to see these two go, as this really needs another 5-10 years to reach its apogee. Lots going on here: complexity, Vosne spice, structure, fantastic balance, velvet in the mouth, but still a boatload of tannin left. Maybe this is just an overlooked producer, but he really nailed it this year. Wish I waited, but alas...likely a 94 in another 3-4 years.

Acker 2020/02: Charming nose very characteristic to Brûlées, but light and bitter palate. 90
