Tasting notes
The 2008 Vosne-Romanée Les Malconsorts 1er Cru, en magnum, has more cohesion and precision than the Les Beaumonts. The nose offers dark berry fruit, black tea and light touches of iodine. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, much fleshier than the Les Beaumonts. It is smooth in texture, with dark cherries and plummy notes mixed with allspice towards the finish. Lovely. Tasted at Stannery Wines' producer tasting in London.

Bright medium red. Knockout nose offers plum, raspberry, Oriental spices, blood orange, minerals and underbrush; a real essence of Vosne-Romanee. Then dense and sappy in the mouth, with wonderful pinot tang to the dark raspberry and crushed stone flavors. Offers a compelling combination of chewy texture, electric energy and intriguing soil tones. Finishes with superb palate-dusting persistence. This is almost grand cru-like in its power.
Bright, full red. Wonderfully expressive nose combines cherry liqueur, flowers, Oriental spices and sexy minerality. Impressively concentrated, pure and perfumed in the mouth, with rich but sharply delineated flavors of pungent red berries, minerals and spices. Really perfectly judged extraction here. A beauty-clearly an outstanding vintage for this wine.
