Popped and poured. Dark ruby. The nose was everything I love about Burgundy. Blackberry, porcini mushrooms, barnyard, Camembert cheese. Teetering on that line between primary and secondary aromas. On the palate quite balanced with fine powdered tannins and black fruit. Really hitting on all cylinders.

No decanting.Beautiful rounded nose with typical Vosne spices.Drinking beautifully, well balanced with good fruit and dimension.This wine is in a good drinking window today and unlikely to improve much from here.

More bottle variation. Bold but sharp. More fruit-centric friend actually disliked it and asked for a different wine! Lots and lots of aeration does help round it out. Dramatically better day 2.

(Nicolas Potel Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts) Medium cherry color with clear meniscus; nice tart strawberry, sous bois, roses nose; tart red fruit, rosehips palate with good acidity; medium finish
(Potel Nicolas Vosne-Romanée Les Malconsorts) Understated, edgy, coffee-tinged fruit on the nose - the nose never really expands in our time together. Roll this concentrated wine around in your mouth and you get sweet, dense fruit and many dimensions of flavour. The wine still seems to be opening out as you move from the mid-palate into the finish - a peacock’s tail.

More highly toned than my previous bottle. Overtones of coffee and Vosne spice, slightly sweet finish. Lovely and at peak.

Six hour decant served this well.
