Tasting Notes and Scores

92.5 ST

Good bright medium red. Very ripe but restrained aromas of raspberry, cocoa powder and flowers. Sweet and pliant on entry, then quite closed in the middle today. Hints at strong sappy extract and savory soil and spice tones. Best today on the very long, vibrant, sweetly tannic back end.

Sweet spot outstanding. A classic Vosne nose of blue and black pinot fruit is exuberantly spiced with clove, anise and sandalwood hints that can also be found on the delicious, concentrated and very stylish flavors that possess a lovely mouth feel before culminating in a long, sappy and powerful finish. This is an impressive effort and should reward up to a decade of cellar time. Drink: 2016+
