Tasting notes
(from 60-year-old vines; vinified with 80% whole clusters; this and all of the estate's crus wines were still in barrel in early November): Aromas of raspberry and underbrush. Plush in texture but more restrained than the wines that were already in tank. The fruit is here a bit more medicinal and minty and less sweet at this stage. Finishes with substantial dusty tannins and a spicy element. In an awkward phase.

A restrained and almost mute nose only grudgingly reveals notes of violet, red cherry and raspberry along with subtle spice nuances that continue onto the sleek, cool and vibrant middle weight flavors. This isn’t especially dense but the intrinsic refinement of Vosne is very much on display and particularly so on the balanced, sappy and solidly persistent finale. Dec 2016, www.burghound.com
