2014 Vosne Romanee La Colombiere
Buying options
Tasting notes
(bottled in early December of 2015): Saturated dark red. Sweet, expressive aromas of black raspberry and chocolate come across as higher-toned than those of the 2015. More red fruits than black on the palate, with complicating notes of fruitcake, spices and chocolate. Finishes with ripe tannins.

Healthy deep red. Inviting, very ripe aromas of black raspberry and spices. Plush, sweet and full; in a distinctly savory style, but with lovely supporting fruit and a lightly high-toned character. A bit chocolatey-ripe for my taste, but the tannins are broad and smooth.
The 2014 Vosne Romanée les Colombières is blessed with lovely pure fruit on the nose, fuller than some premier crus Vosne-Romanées with impressive fruité. The palate is medium-bodied with a succulent entry, nicely judged acidity and good mineralité. This is a stylish and suave les Colombières with a pleasing saline tang right on the finish.
Clay soil and old vines very close to the Ch de Vosne. Heady, smudgy, less precise than the village wine. Sweet and a little simple fruited. Jolly and easy. Just a hint of jamminess. (JR)
