(70% vendange entier; two-thirds new oak): Bright medium red. A wonderfully expressive essence of Burgundy on the nose, offering scents of raspberry, Oriental spices, smoke and underbrush. Plush, sweet, round and intense, with lovely perfume building through the palate. Finishes utterly seamless, with serious but fully ripe tannins, firm minerality and terrific length and lift. All in finesse. Winemaker Geraldine Godot, who told me that this parcel is picked "for ripeness of tannins," placed it earlier than usual in the line-up of wines here, as she believes that most of the estate's Nuits-Saint-Georges cuvées are tighter in 2014.

The 2014 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru les Suchots has a fragrant nose of blackberry and boysenberry fruit with a potent cold stone scent flowing underneath. I like the reserve here. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chewy tannin on the entry, but harmonious and cohesive with a linear, delineated finish that should gain more flesh by the time it is bottle. At the moment, there is plenty of freshness and tension, if not the weight that I am sure the 2015 will eventually bestow.
