Expectations are everything sometimes. I had very high hopes for this and was hoping for a bit more. A 2010 Vosne Suchots should wow you a bit. Very nice wine. It certainly has the texture of a Vosne premier cru. Red fruited and aromatic, but never really turned on the jets. Gave it plenty of air, too. About 90 minutes.

2010 Red Burgundy (Allen & Overy, London): Unlike the destemmed Feusselottes, this wine is 100% whole-bunch. Lifted, delicate, berry-fruited nose, with dusky flowers and baking spice coming through. Initially rather solid and weighty, though shapely too, with a savoury note from the stems and a noble, stony quality. With air, the wine lightened up and became increasingly sexy. I'd say this was barely ready, and will improve over the next 5-10 years. Classy Burgundy, and probably my second-favourite wine tonight.

This has rich, cool black fruit and toasted spice aromas. Forward and concentrated black cherry fruit shows quite primary with edgy structure to match. Fun now but better with time to mellow and even out.
