Inside Burgundy – 91 points

Clear bright colour, the nose is not in the fore-front of great Vosne-Romanée but the palate really shows everything a Vosne should have with fair density. Medium to long finish, attractive tannin/acid balance.

Wine Spectator – 90 points

This red shows a touch of gaminess, with woodsy elements to the cherry and currant flavors. Firmly structured, elegant and balanced. Fruit and spice notes linger on the fresh finish, revealing an emerging mineral hint. Best from 2021 through 2033. (Issue: Nov 15, 2019)

Jancis Robinson – 16.5/20

Rather straightforward aromatic range.Full body, rich red fruit, piquant spice. A ballerina with clogs on.
