2009. Mint, eucalyptus, cedar dust, dried raspberry, orange peel, pomegranate, and sage. Showing some brick tinges but no flavor deterioration. Cinnamon, cedar and dried maduro, savory, cranberry and dusty raspberry, roobios tea, cracked pepper, cardamom, nutmeg and a tiny bit of blistered pepper.
Intense and silky; shifting strata of immense complexity.

Initial funk of light-spoil-fruit, wet under dry leaves, freeze dried raspberry, dried sour cherry, fresh potabello and earth turn slowly to only mushroom funk and pretty powdered raspberry and cranberry, dried rose petal cocoa powder and chicory. Becomes tart, warm raspberry on the nose and palate upon entry. Dark cherry core that has a briny plum sensibility, and the acid has eased into the racy finish that delivers tomato type acid but tart and cola-saffron-cran. #domainepaulmisset #vosneromanée #vosneromanéelesbarreaux #burgundy #bourgogne #bourgognebutnotforgotten #bourgognerouge #redburgundywine #redburg — 5 years ago

Gorgeous garnet, star bright reflectivity. Rim to rim continuity. Cedar dusted black cherry and strawberry glow warmly in a vanilla and baked cran and ripe red currant dappling. There are red apple leanings and roobios-tulip whispers in a complex and seductive nose that stoops in bushes of thyme and all spice pods. Rich mouthfeel exhibits bits of its green youth, but has unveiled to reveal its abundance with a lengthy decant. Tart cherry and sweet tobacco, tart raspberry essence, dried violets and rose petal, dried strawberry and beet soaked thyme. Grossly underrepresented in this assessment, as the whole is like a wondrous river in a florid wood undulating with ripples of fallen blossoms. Astounding.

Absolutely gorgeous and approachable 2005 Cathiard. Almost blue in color, dense nose of blackberries, blueberries, asian spice, some stems, hint of licorice. Lush fruit yet pure and elegant with pretty tannins and great length. Super bottle.

Excellent entry wine for the producer. Dark cherries, dried cranberries, root beer, pecan, cherry blossom, dried strawberry, light cigar wrapper. Cranberry continues on the palate, tart cherry, red currant. Simple, yet elegant and versatile.

Rose petal, dried raspberry and strawberry nose, persimmon remnants, bing cherry, roobios and black teas. Cranberry-apple afterthoughts. Bright and young with juicy attitude. Cranberry and tart cherry entry, rose, tar and smoky jerky. Plums and sage with grape leaf. Waiting for full opening.

Really struggled with this one. I enjoy Ghislaine's wines and love her passion. This 06 Cras is very shut down and gave almost nothing on the nose even after 2 hours. The palate was tight and closed as well with acidity edging out the fruit at this point. Check in after a few more years.
