2013 Domaine Jean Grivot Vosne-Romanée (qty: 1)
This is a beautiful, silky wine with fine, delicate tannins. Ripe strawberry and red cherry fruits are embedded in the elegant structure that is already heralding a wine of richness as well as spice from wood aging. Drink from 2017 and at least until 2025. (RV)
Elegant and perfumed, showing black cherry, strawberry and spice flavors that linger on the finish. Best from 2017 through 2024. (BS)
Here the expressive nose blends both upper and lower register aromas of herbal tea, spice and floral nuances with notes of pomegranate and plum. There is a lovely mouth feel to the lightly mineral-inflected medium weight flavors that possess fine volume and intensity before culminating in a dusty, serious and mildly austere finish. This will likely need most of a decade of cellar time to reveal its full potential.
A barrel blend of 12 barrels with around 25% new, the 2013 Vosne-Romanée Village has a clean and pure raspberry and crushed-strawberry nose. The palate is soft in the mouth with fine acidity, gaining a little more structure and masculinity toward the finish. This should give five or six years of pleasure, possibly longer. (NM)
Bright medium red. Spicy red berries complicated by hints of mint and meat on the nose. Juicy, sappy and vibrant; a savory, soil-driven wine with its fruit currently in the background. Shows slightly green-edged acidity and tannins but boasts excellent energy. (ST)
