Domaine Prieuré Roch
Les Hautes-Maizières Vosne-Romanée Pinot Noir
As far as I know, 1988 was the first commercial release of the “Les Hautes Maizières” and frankly, first from the Domaine itself. This bottle was opened just prior to service and enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 1988 Vosne-Romanée “Les Hautes Maizières” pours a hazy ruby color with a translucent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears and some signs of fine sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of desiccated red and dark fruit: strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, dried red flowers, mushrooms, sous bois and soft baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin (fully integrated) and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and there’s a lovely, silky texture. There can’t be too many of these bottles still lying around in cellars so this is a rare treat! Drinking so very well right now so I’d suggest doing just that.

Jan 17th, 20252011 vintage. Medium garnet, cloudy. On the nose, quite restrained at first glance, struck match reduction, blackberry and black fruited, some leather tan and a touch of vanilla spice. On the palate, high acidity, tart, medium body and alcohol, medium concentration. Medium finish. Although interesting, not something I would jump to drink again. Drink from 2019-2030.
