The sensational Vosne-Romanee-Les Brulees dramatically provides credibility for its name. The roasted nose of meat and smoky black fruit is flashy and extroverted. In the mouth, this wine exhibits a broad-shouldered, expansive, succulent texture, with oodles of flavor and glycerin, as well as heady alcohol to go along with the spectacularly rich, unctuous finish. Even though the tannins are noticeable, it is a thrilling wine to drink at present. It should be at its best by 1995 and last for 15 or more years. Importer: Martine's Wines, San Rafael, CA.
