2015 Lucien Le Moine Vosne-Romanée Malconsorts 1er Cru

(vinified with a portion of whole clusters): Moderately saturated bright ruby-red. Nose currently dominated by spicy, smoky oak. Juicy, penetrating and very tightly wound, but this extremely backward, taut wine already conveys an impression of electric energy. This utterly primary, youthfully imploded wine tastes like just-pressed fruit. Finishes brisk and very long. Should age slowly and gracefully but may require a decade to approach its peak. Incidentally, this wine finished its malo late and was still reduced in August, according to Saouma.
