Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Aux Reignots, Grivot

Note:

A very toasty nose displays a hint of cigarette ash though there is a broad array of spice elements to the black cherry liqueur and violet scents. The exceptionally rich and suave flavours possess a velvety mouth feel where an intense mineral streak adds lift to the lush finale where the wood resurfaces. While this is certainly a seductive effort it is carrying a lot of wood, indeed to the point that I`m not convinced that it will ever be able to fully integrate all of it. To be sure this is a perfectly good wine, it`s just a markedly toasty one.
