Tasting notes
Bright, dark red-ruby. A bit tired on the nose following the very recent end to its malo. Then dense and sweet in the mouth, showing excellent chewy depth to the black cherry, spice and mineral flavors. One senses outstanding complexity and potential here but this is currently in a rather disturbed state. Finishes sappy, saline and long, with serious but ripe tannins. I look forward to seeing this in its finished form.

The 2013 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru les Malconsorts was the latest to finish its malolactic in mid-September. The nose has plenty of energy: red berry fruit, orange sorbet, wet limestone and fresh prune scents. The palate is primal with a dense body of red fruit. There is better weight here than the Suchots with more persistence on the peacock’s tail finish. Is this the Malconsorts of the vintage?
