Tasting Notes

Good dark red with ruby tones. Very ripe aromas of dark raspberry, licorice pastille and cinnamon, plus a sexy suggestion of torrefaction. Then fresher in the mouth than the nose suggests, displaying a lovely combination of sweet, seamless red berry fruit and vibrant acidity. Velvety and a bit high-toned in the middle palate, but the finish leaves the salivary glands humming.

Score: 92

(50% new oak; from vines planted in 1955): Bright, dark red-ruby. Slightly reduced nose offers black raspberry, smoked meat and a whiff of oak. Concentrated, easygoing and sweet but a bit youthfully subdued today, with its raspberry, mineral and dark chocolate flavors in need of a racking. Finishes with suave, broad tannins and a crunchy quality that leaves the palate refreshed. Lovely potential here.

Score: 91 - 93

This is also mildly reduced but it probably won't persist. By contrast there is even more intensity and refinement present on the more mineral-driven medium weight flavors that possess an attractive sense of underlying tension before terminating in a chalky, mouth coating and impeccably well-balanced finale. This is well worth considering. Outstanding

The 2015 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru les Petits Monts is matured in two-thirds new oak (three barrels.) It has a beautiful, nuanced bouquet that effortlessly disguises the new oak, very delineated and pure with vivacious morello cherry, wild strawberry and candied orange peel aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth and harmonious entry, hints of orange sorbet/blood orange filtering through the red cherry and strawberry notes, merging into the more mineral-driven finish. I appreciate the transparency here, the frisson of energy. It should give 12-15 years of drinking pleasure, possibly more.

Score: 92 - 94
