More mature than expected, but utterly enjoyable. Well balanced, with classic complexity. The kind of red burg that I wish I could pull from the cellar at least once a week. Everything one could hope for at this level from this vintage.

Rather advanced appearance brick orange at rim, not brilliantly clear. Very pungent spicy earthy aromas, but then a bit tart, fruit fading, seeming like a "Natural wine". Finish a bit astringent. Flavorful, and anything but dull, but not for everyone.

(Gros Frère & Soeur Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru) Declassified Echézeaux from vines that are about 10 years old. Slightly more diffuse aromatics. In the mouth there's just a little more width and more tannin too - but fine tannin. It's okay, slightly less charming than the basic villages, but there are better 'values' in this vintage.
(Gros Frère & Soeur Vosne-Romanée) High toned with pretty red fruits. Ripe and sweet in the mouth with some grainy tannin. Decent mid-palate complexity. Not too much wood - this is very nice.

Couldn't rate this wine. Very disappointing. Seemed way past its prime. Flat , boring. Nothing enjoyable.
