Vosne Romanee Brulees 1er Cru 2010

This is also overtly toasty with ripe plum and cassis aromas that are liberally sprinkled with classic Vosne spice notes that include soy, hoisin, clove and cinnamon. The rich, concentrated and relatively muscular medium weight plus flavors also possess plenty of mouth coating dry extract that pushes the otherwise firm tannic spine to the background on the impressively lingering finish. This is a bold and moderately chewy yet not inelegant version of the vineyard. Outstanding

Score: 90 - 93
