During a VSR blind tasting. This was very closed and youthful, bright red fruit, some toffee and raspberry, cough syrup. Really hard to judge, never opened up fully. What is a plus here is that the wine is elegant and fresh unlike many 2018 samples. Hard to judge from today's showing. 92-94+ I remember tasting the Lamarche at the PoB EP tasting in Hong Kong and the wines were all stellar then. So this may be in a transition. If you own this, dont open in the next 3-5 years.

Domaine Lamarche Visit and Tasting 2018 From Barrel (Vosne-Romanée): Barrel tasting at the domaine (sample assembled the night before). Everything 30-40% whole cluster. Also all red fruit from start-to-finish with very good harmony. Slightly lighter for the vintage for Grand Cru, and less expressive than the 1ers just tasted.Very pretty and texturally elegant.

DRC Echezeaux + other Burgundies (Tøyen, Oslo): Double decanted 3 hours
Red berries on the nose, vanilla, rosemary also. Later a very smooth candied raspberry note.
Light - medium bodied, so fresh with great fruit concentration. A bit of wet wood and and forest floor follows the sweetness in the very long finish.
Served next to DRC Ech 19, this wine was still thoroughly enjoyable. Lamarche did so well in 18!

Dominant red fruit notes with hints of dried roses, forest floor, mushroom. Subtle yet elegant wine. Would like to revisit in a few years.
