Vosne-Romanée, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
My 1st btl opened from this producer since attending a tasting & lunch last year at Marea with the winemaker Thomas Berry. I was blown away by the purity of fruit & transparency the wines showed. I have been on a search since to find a few btls of his wines only to find that they are virtually impossible to find in the US & the pricing is prohibitive. I preferred his newer vintages shown at the tasting but the 06 still showed the purity, balance & finish. This had notes of dark cherry, strawberry, Vosne spice, earth, mineral & violet.

At first the new oak made the wine a little disjointed, too much smoke. After an hour, it seemed a little better. I would suggest decanting. But I don’t think the oak is ever going to fully integrate.

Pleasure to drink. Wish it wasn't so expensive. For a 16 yo drop, this was showing good energy. Reductive when open, then it was all that soy and mushroom on the nose, some delicate fruit - almost somewhat ripe - on the palate. Solid finish, with a still present acid. Can't say I could taste the Vosne terrior though, perhaps a result of age.

Perfect Vosne nose. Lovely fruit. Fast finish. Too thin in the end. Promise was there but didn't quite deliver.

Aug 29th, 20142008 VV. This was so fine, so elegant. Spice on the nose (toasty oak & that vosne terroir), with black plums underneath. Light mouthfeel, a hint of cherry and some wood tannin were detectable, but it's no secret that this wine needs time. Surprised to learn this was 100% new wood. I'd guessed about 50. That said, I'd definitely make a point of returning.
