  10/30/2020 - Cote d'Or Likes this wine:

  Tasted over 3 hrs
  -nearly semi-translucent dark red no bricking
  -expressive pretty funk black cherry
  -med+ acidity, med/med- weight tart black cherry saline faint weedy savory note, med/med- fine tannins
  -nice aromatics with the typical '14 buoyancy, if lacking a bit of depth and complexity for a Vosne 1er, drinking well now

  Blinds at Jason Mark III(?): Blind 4 of 7. Well, this is a pinot. Somewhat extracted, definitely a bit of oak, a bit of heat on the finish, but beyond that, absolutely no defining features. I thought this was a reasonable example of Sonoma pinot, and was surprised to see a Beaux Monts. This wine reminded me a lot of drinking very modernist Barolo - it's not that it's a bad wine, it's that it can be almost anything, which in an odd way makes it very boring.

  Un Vosne romanée 1er cru così mediocre è la prima volta che mi capita.
  Il prezzo avrebbe dovuto farmi sorgere più di un dubbio.
  
  Certamente non cattivo ma molto lontano dalla solita piacevolezza.

  So young but so much potential! Layers and layers of crunchy red berries with sous bois but very green forest with plenty of spices and a touch of ash. Really balanced even in its youth but definitely will improve by leaps and bounds with time.

  A wine of verve, intrigue, and power, underpinned by complex layers, serious acidity, and surprising, though elegant tannin. Tasted over the course of several hours, during which it improved, until after the five hour mark, after which it seemed to want to return to its slumber. Quite likely a twenty year, perhaps even a thirty year, wine from today. Let it rest. 94-95...96?
