Outstanding
Tasting note: Though compositionally similar to the Vosne, the aromas are cooler, more elegant and more restrained while the wood treatment is more generous but not dominant. There is fine density to the wonderfully sappy and intense middle weight flavors that brim with minerality that carries over to the solidly long finish. This firmly structured effort is more powerful than usual though it is also a bit warmer than usual.
