  This is a tart, bracing wine which has expressive red fruits and plenty of structural complexity. Paired beautifully with rillettes. Not sure this will ever shed its confrontational rigidity so no reason not to drink this now. Truculent, shrill and perversely rewarding.

  Decanted 30 minutes. Ripe intense nose with strawberries, roses, light truffle. Palate is medium depth, soft berry fruits with light tannic grip and mild acidity. Well balanced showing sous bois notes and gentle savouryness. Fully mature and drinking ideally now. Drink now-2020.

  A solid if not stellar bottle. Dark red fruits, also cranberry on the lean, focused nose. Quite gruff for a vosne, the tannins are sharp and pithy. Some gamey, bloody notes add complexity and interest. Drink now, preferably with game or rustic Burgundian fair.

  This is a solid wine but it is not easy to love. Mature appearance but not tired; the nose is fresh and mineral, fully mature, with notes of undergrowth, white mushroom and a hint of Vosne spice box; the palate is fresh and energetic, slender and lively but really very tannic, seemingly without the weight of fruit to stand up to the firm structural elements; drying finish, light flavours but good length. Needs food and needs drinking sooner rather than later, as it will eventually dry out.
