I love this domain. But this wine was not ready. Memorable RSV nose upon opening, but it then closed up. Let it breath for a few hours but tannins dominated. I know this will be great but wine needs another 7-10 years.

Wow!! Soft black fruit with great acidity nice grip of cherries and uncooked meat. This goes on and on.

No. 3 in the Vosne Romanee Grand Cru lineup. My blind tasting notes - “Concentrated Latent and Long. A huge future - amazing potential. I think DRC - La Tache?” The latter assumption proving to be wrong as that was Wine No. 1. Nevertheless the quality of the 2015 Grand Crus from Vosne Romanee are beyond question. Buy as many as you can afford.

The spice explodes from the glass when it's poured and follows on the palate. So RSV. Best bottle of this ever

Pretty closed. Some white pepper and cinnamon but not showing grand cru genes.

Nose spills out into the room. Earthy but ethereal. Very light but lovely.

Quite closed , spice and pepper , black fruits . Long on the palate , young and needs time . Will get there. Hugely complex. Quite masculine for a RSV but excellent .
