2009 Vosne Romanee Les Brulees

The 2009 Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Aux Brulees from Meo-Camuzet is superb, offering up an alluring nose of sweet black fruit, exotic spices, rich soil and subtle espresso roast. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and expansive, with grand cru depth and dimension, its fine-grained tannins entirely enveloped in luscious dark fruit, its acids cool and controlled. The Aux Brulees is routinely one of Jean-Nicolas Meo's finest wines, and the 2009 vintage is no exception. Jan 2018, www.robertparker.com
