There's more austerity to this wine than in most vintages

The intensity here is excellent and the wine offers impressive length and persistence

This is also very ripe but not roasted or jammy though the nose does have a liqueur-like character from the cassis

this needs a thorough aeration

Jean-Marie Fourrier, Vosne Romanee Reas Vv other_regions_italy There's more austerity to thisA pungent nose is comprised by notes of wood, menthol, various red berries and plenty of Vosne style spice. I like the delineation of the vibrant medium weight flavors that terminate in a dusty and mildly austere finish. This will need a few years to better integrate its wood and develop additional depth.
