Epure, Hong Kong. Very typical of the 2013 vintage with red fruit profile, elevated acidity and great florality. This opens very tannic in a profile not too dissimilar from a Nebbiolo. Balance improves markedly with airing and there is good 1er Cru level of flavour complexity. It is a good drink though it lacks a bit of oomph, truly fluorescent or zingy fruit to make it into my 2013 pantheon e.g. Bize Latricieres or the entire Fourrier line-up. This is at or close to peak but will last 5+ years without problem.

Light and enjoyable for its red fruits but seemed advanced for ten years on and showed surprisingly little Suchots character. Cellared since original release.

Wine swap night Burg theme. Tasted blind. Drank in Conterno Sensory. Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs. Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of menthol, herbal stems, purple fruits, dark red cherries, spices, salty minerality with more air. Developing. On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), chewy medium+ tannins, medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of dark red cherries, red plums, purple fruit, menthol herbs, sweet spices, salty minerality. Long finish. Very good quality. Nice Vosne Suchots with good acidity and good materiale. Still needs a few more years of good development and the tannins to soften.

Definitely too early for drinking, not properly tertiary yet. If you enjoy stronger primary notes and grippy tannins, feel free to pop now.
