More evident wood and menthol surrounds the spicy black raspberry Asian-style tea and floral hints. The delicious and attractively vibrant medium-bodied flavors possess a velvety yet detailed balanced and lingering finish. This is a quality Vosne villages.
The 2017 Vosne-Romanée from Maison Joseph Drouhin is also a very good example of a villages level wine with impressive purity and complexity on both the nose and palate but without quite the same core of red fruit as is found in the Chambolle this year. The bouquet is bright and complex delivering scents of raspberries cherries Vosne spice duck cedar and a very good base of dark soil tones. On the palate the wine is full-bodied transparent and very nicely delineated with discreet tannins tangy acids and fine focus and grip on the long and classy finish. It is just a touch fluide at the center in comparison to the Chambolle but delightful in all other aspects. Still in cask. (Drink between 2021-2045)
vfcFirm mid red. The bouquet is delicate and restrained but there is a good burst of red fruit on the palate with a thread of tannins throughout. The structure is there the fruit does not quite come alive. Tasted: November 2018.
