justerini & brooks tasting note

Super intense if less showy than Brûlées. Cool, racy fruit. All Stones and minerals, crisp wild red berries. Vivid and with a fine solid backbone. Brilliantly focused if less polished and immediate than Brûlées but perhaps more potential. A real live wire.

The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Cros Parantoux 1er Cru, which had been racked a week prior to my visit, has a detailed and complex bouquet, a mixture of red and black fruit, pressed iris and hints of blood orange. It needs a little more cohesion, but that will come with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, the SO2 addition perhaps tightening everything up, as Jean-Nicolas Méo suggests. It displays good grip in the mouth and a solid and quite firm finish. This may require several years in bottle once released. One for those seeking an intellectual Vosne-Romanée.
