The 1999 Vosne-Romanee Aux Brulees is medium to dark ruby-colored and has a demure, creamed cherry-scented nose. This foursquare, tight, tannic wine is medium-bodied and reveals appealing spiced cherry flavors. I am concerned about its firm, hard tannin. Projected maturity: 2005-2010+. Importer: Martine's Wines, San Raphael, CA; tel. (415) 485-1800.
Red-ruby, not as dark as the Nuits Boudots. Precise, highly aromatic nose combines bitter cherry, redcurrant, Oriental spices, smoke and game. Silky and thick with extract, but lower-toned than the Boudots and not quite as tangy or complex. But offers lovely texture and an impressive, slow-building finish.
About the producer

For many, Domaine Leroy represents the pinnacle of fine Burgundy. Owned and run by the legendary Lalou Bize-Leroy, the domaine in Vosne-Romanée is one strand of the Leroy empire, along with Maison Leroy and Domaine d’Auvenay.
