Domaine de Montille Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts

Decanted for about an hour before tasting. Part of the 2014 NSG and VR tasting. Medium ruby, almost opaque. Very forward notes of raspberry and black cherry with just a touch of earthy accent. Palate is balanced, sweet fruit notes balanced by acidity and completely masking the tannins. Long lingering finish. Very young although still enjoyable. Needs at least another decade and possibly well beyond that. Rating for potential.

Lavender macerated in red currant juice. Filigree tannins. Has structure and tension of a high class Barbaresco(Roagna). Very young and somewhat closed, needs time and air. With 3 hours of air opens up notes of propolis, rosehip and balsamic. Better in 10+ years.

This was based on the last glass 4 hours after decanting. First glass maybe a 90 or 91 after decanting. Even after 3 hours in the decanter was uninteresting, not complex. Lots of acidity and dry leaf, more dry leaf and then overlapping dry leaf. All wound up in dry leaf. You get the idea. I think this was really young. Should prove to be better in 10+ years. Was glad it at least came around after 4 hours. Typical …

2022 Excellent Burgundy Adventure; 10/31/2022-11/6/2022 (Burgundy) : Expressive nose displaying generous sweet black fruit with a hint of red, blackberry, blackberry liqueur, black cherry, strawberry, stem, a hint of Vosne spice and sous bois, light caramel and limestone. Excellent concentration, layers upon layers of generous black fruit, rich yet silky and precise, excellent balance and detail, perfect amount of acidity and mineral, and a long generous black fruit driven finish with a hint of stem at the end. This clearly …

Pale garnet with a watery rim. Initial nose of earthy, dashi-like quality, toasty notes, kernel, red currant, red cherry, salty air, vanilla, orange liquor. On the palate intense mineality, red cherry, soft earth. Dashi broth. Medium alcohol, medium body, medium+ acidity. Round, fine but drying tannins lends good structure to the wine. Upon first pour it feels almost light in the mouth, you quickly get its power and presence which builds in the glass with air. There’s a wonderful salty …

Blind tasting. Medium to deep red ruby. Floral and spicy, red currant. pure & clean pinoté.

Under DIAM30. I had high expectations for this but it met them and then some. An absolutely gorgeous nose with a mix of brown spice and bright red fruit -- currants, cranberries, tart cherries, that sort of thing. Behind that exposition are some slight underbrushy elements. You can clearly see the secondary development just starting to emerge. The palate is light but powerful; it is very well balanced with a disposition that is fully in line with the nose. The …

not at its best currently, a little closed and seems lacking fruit maturity.

At Takamura Wine and Coffee Osaka. By the glass. Forward and floral nose. Still plenty of tannin, good concentration and length. Very good materials. Wait for 10 years.

Pretty, floral and vibrant. Delicate cranberry and cherry fruit aromas and flavours. Gorgeously perfumed and silky against the gums. It really builds through the palate and again usage of all the stems gives some grip. It leaves a strong mineral footprint once swallowing.

Tasted at Pearl of Burgundy event. Nose had big purple fruit, caramel, and oak. The palate was very concentrated. It has the potential to be a very good wine but it will need at least 10 years to be barely entering its drinking window. 93-94 potential.
