A bit on the darker side, more blue fruit than red fruit. Weight is medium to full bodied but still conveyed some sense of place. Notes os Asian spice, wood/stems, coupled with layers of red and blue berry notes.

Being my first Vosne-Romanée Pinot, I have very little reference only to add "first impressions" , very light on the palate, little to no tannins, almost felt watered down. All striking when placed next to California. Nice dark color in the glass, the words soft and mellow come to mind. Not unenjoyable, rose petals with a hint of tobacco when first opened but never to be seen again. Not much finish.

(at Aureole Bar – NYC) Red / purple. A fairly big village that has a creamy texture and ripe pinot fruit profile. While fruit driven now, there seems to be hints of earth and spice underneath that may show up in time. However, there is no harm in drinking now . Very good, if not special (though the price is pretty special). (88)

Very enjoyable and actually better on the second day. I guess this is quite a good bang for the buck if you enjoy this Domaine's style (like me). It's hard to find a more interesting and complex V-R in the $30-35 zone. Can easily go a couple or even a handful of more years before it peaks. 90+

Very pretty, medium-bodied, not terribly concentrated, and the finish is not that long. Drinking well now. Nice, elegant but not too memorable.
