Les Malconsorts Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Pinot Noir

Very transparent Ruby red wine. Lots of fruits: cherry and raspberry. Hint of pencil. Nice herby bitters. Nice mild long lasting mouth.

Black cherry, black tea aromas are the first impression, then a spice aspect... Asian, Vosne-spice, as many often refer. What was so compelling was the incredibly smooth, satiny tannins making this a joy to drink. Acid was present yet not dominating or negatively affecting the tannin taste. Not an extracted wine; nor concentrated. Understated perhaps but regal nonetheless.
