Vosne-Romanée, 2014
An absolutely superb villages, red cherry fruit mixed with dark chocolate and cocoa notes, touches of limestone and mineral. finishing on fruit again with ripe flavours of autumn fruit and background hints of undergrowth. From a villages parcels on the Nuits side of the commune.
critic reviews
Moderately saturated medium red. Livelier on the nose than the Charmois, with scents of black cherry, graphite and dark chocolate lifted by a floral quality. At once sweet and savory on the palate, with lovely acidity framing the red berry and cherry fruit flavors and extending the finish. Suaver and more pliant than the Charmois but the wine's more serious tannins and an element of peppery lift on the back end call for at least a couple years of patience.
Bottled last February, the 2014 Vosne Romanee has a fragrant red cherry and cranberry-scented bouquet that is conservative but well defined. There is plenty of freshness here. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, vibrant dark berry fruit, a touch of cola and fine mineralite on the finish. Excellent.
