Domaine Bruno Clavelier Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Brûlées Vieilles Vignes

Rapsberry, sour cherry aspect, higher acid than I like. No good notes as this was the last wine of the night. I thought it was mediocre. Disappointing for this producer/level. DD blind red Burgs dinner BOA SM. 7th place. Overall, pretty disappointed with the entire tasting of high-end Burgs (mostly aged GC). 1 corked wine, 1 or 2 that I thought had minor issues if not faulty, and a couple others that were just mediocre. In fact the last several …

A mini vertical (2017-2021) of this sublime Brulées which is often superior (and always less expensive) than more prestigious names if we except the fabulous Meo-Camuzet). 1) 2018 97-98 2) 2020 96-97 3) 2019 96 4) 2021 94-95 5) 2017 94

Needs a couple hours to come alive but once it does this is a force. Nose is bright berry, spice, oak but in balance, tea, earth, hints of menthol. Palate is direct, red fruit, very long, strong minerality. On opening a bit reticent, and even acidic especially for the vintage. With air it resolved leaving a great young bottle.

re-tasted, Wonderfull!

Decanted 1 hour and enjoyed over 2 jours. Nose was a bit muted with blue and red fruits, candy. Mouthfeel is perfect, absolute velvet, smooth. Bit of spices, earth and long finish. Lacks a bit of layers in mid palate at this stage and the finish a bit too one-dimensional for a higher score. Not a “wow” yet. Time will tell!

Just extraordinary. Very precise. Dark fruited. VERY mineral and long in the mouth. Beautiful wine of precision and grace.

No, It is at same level than 2018, Very Great

Really great wine but a step under the splendid 2018
