There is plenty of oak influence with notes of toast and menthol framing the spicy aromas of plum liqueur violet and sandalwood. The medium-bodied flavors are rich to the point of opulence on the mouth coating and slightly warm finish that delivers excellent length. This is not a refined or especially energetic example of Suchots but it is certainly impressively rich and seductive.
vThe 2017 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru is cut from a more elegant cloth than usual. The bouquet is nicely defined offering perfumed dark cherry cranberry and orange blossom aromas. The palate is crisp and well-defined on the entry with a fine bead of acidity and quite linear and correct – toward the finish I begin missing the sensuality and voluptuousness that I expect from this Premier Cru. Hopefully it will gain some weight once in bottle. (Drink between 2021-2032)
