  My first (and final) bottle of this in 5 years. Was expecting a lean tasting experience, but this bottle held a pleasant surprise. Good ruby color with only a slight bricking. Aromatically this has a lovely sous bois, strawberries and cranberries, with a deft touch of wood, cinnamon, and minerality. On the palate this has good lift on the attack with cinnamon and a chalky minerality. In the mid palate the acidity tapers off to let the strawberries and cranberry step forward where the polished tannins coat the inside of your mouth with enough acidity to keep this vibrant. Coasts into the finish with good length and the vibrancy that keeps this from being lean or dried out.
  
  A pleasant surprise for a less than heralded vintage.
  
  I could see this retaining vigor and enjoyment until 2029, though this bottle highlighted it can be enjoyed now.

  Fine Vosne Romanée. On spot now. Rather subtle and elegant than expressive. Good balance of fruit, spicy and earth notes. Impressively fresh.

  In a good place now. Sweet fruit, with a nice bit of acidity, pretty nose.

  While still pretty, this bottle was starting to show some subtle stewy undertones, which I don’t prefer. 1 bottle left. I think I’ll drink it sooner rather than later.
