2016 Red Wine from Vosne Romanee

Decanter, 92 points: The Vosne villages is extrovert on the nose, bursting from the glass with creamy raspberry and currant fruit, framed by spicy new oak. On the palate the wine is velvety and open-knit, with cool acids and good balance, but...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: (93-95) The 2016 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Brûlées Vieilles Vignes comes from vines planted just after the Second World War. It has a potent bouquet with a mixture of black and red fruit, a slight tinniness suggesting a...

Burghound, 94 points: (91-94) Reduction. Interestingly, the palate impression of the medium weight flavors is even finer with terrific vibrancy and minerality where the intensity really builds from the mid-palate on back to the explosively...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: (90-92 points) The 2016 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Chaumes felt a little closed compared to the Beaux Monts, at least at this stage. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannin, good acidity, quite spicy in the mouth...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2016 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts wafts from the glass with a rich bouquet of ripe cherries, wild berries, sweet spices and smoked meats. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and gourmand...

Wine Spectator, 94 points: Shows terrific depth to the aromas and flavors of black currant, blueberry, graphite, earth and baking spices. Delivers weight and length, with overall balance and a long aftertaste that echoes the core of sweet fruit...

Decanter, 95 points: Good though the Chambertin is, the Romanée-St-Vivant is the king of the cellar in 2016, soaring from the glass with a pure and creamy bouquet of black cherry, currant, candied peel and subtle spice. Expansive, full-bodied...

Wine Spectator, 97 points: This red shows immediate appeal with its pure cherry fruit flavor, backed by strawberry, currant and spice accents. Intense and well-built, yet balanced and harmonious, with a superlong aftertaste echoing the fruit and...

Decanter, 90 points: An overperforming village wine, the Champs Perdrix is reminiscent of a miniature premier cru Petits Monts, offering up an attractive bouquet of rose petal, wild berries and spice. On the palate the wine is juicy...

View From The Cellar, 91 points: The 2016 Haut Beaumonts is an outstanding village wine in the making, which I often find to be of premier cru quality in many vintages and this is again the case in 2016! The lovely nose wafts from the glass in a red...
