2013 Vosne Romanee

Good dark red. Musky aromas of redcurrant and smoky minerality. The tightly wound palate conveys an attractive restrained sweetness, with spice and herb notes adding complexity to the red fruit flavors. Most impressive today on the back end, which features serious mouth-saturating, dusty tannins, resounding saline minerality and very good length. Turned a touch dry in the glass.

The 2013 Vosne-Romanée presents a striking interplay of aromas, textures and flavors, all backed up by beams of minerality and lively acidity. Hard candy, flowers and spices add nuance in an impeccable village-level Burgundy. A collection of five parcels informs the blend.
