(from a yield of just 20 hectoliters per hectare): Bright, dark red. Very ripe aromas of black raspberry, black cherry, mocha and cocoa. Dense, dry and sappy, with terrific intensity and inner-palate lift to the flavors of dark berries, black cherry, minerals and bitter chocolate. For all its concentration, this boasts outstanding finesse. Terrific tightly coiled wine with superb back-end perfume. The noble tannins are in perfect harmony with the wine's material.

The 2010 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots boasts a gorgeous, centered core of fruit that is remarkable for its sheer vibrancy and clarity. Plums, black cherries, spices and menthol are some of the many nuances that flesh out in the glass. The finish is full of Suchots character in its rich tapestry of aromas and flavors. This is a kaleidoscopic wine full of personality. I loved it.

Outstanding. Very discreet wood sets off exuberantly spicy aromas of plum, cassis and black raspberry liqueur. There is an ultra-sophisticated mouth feel to the silky-textured medium-bodied flavors that are blessed with so much extract that they culminate in an incredibly suave yet balanced finish that is built to age. There is a very mild touch of backend dryness that is likely due to the bottling and will probably round out in time but it does cause me to score this slightly lower than I otherwise might have. Drink: 2022+

Deep ruby. Rather light nose but with lots of rich fruit. Just a little dull. Does the business but without enormous flair. (JR)
