    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Domaine Jean Grivot, Vosne Romanée, Les Suchots, 1er Cru, 2009

    A spell-binding Vosne, up there with some of the top Premiers Crus of the vintage, almost Grand Cru in complexity weight and length, stunning flavours of sweet ripe red berries, strawberry, sloe and griotte with strong earthy undertones of mineral, undergrowth and spice, set in a suave and sensual texture; this wine has it all.

    ABV:
    13%
    94+/100
    Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
    Bright medium red. Less flamboyant on the nose but also livelier than the Beaux Monts, with tangy cherry and raspberry aromas lifted by minerality. The palate delivers superb tension and cut for the vintage, with a hint of menthol austerity and little in the way of easy sweetness to the berry and mineral flavors. Finishes with noble tannins and outstanding sneaky length. This very firmly structured wine should repay a decade of cellaring.
