(91-93) A cool but highly expressive nose displays elegant notes of wild red berries, lavender, spice and again soft sandalwood hints. There is a bit more volume if perhaps not quite the refinement of the Brûlées to the mid-palate that coats the palate with dry extract that also serves to buffer the slightly firmer tannic spine on the muscular and firm finish. Excellent juice and this too is worth your attention.

(91-93) The 2014 Vosne Romanée 1er Cru les Beaux Monts Vieilles Vignes has a tightly knit bouquet with blackcurrant pastilles, iris and dark cherries. The palate is medium-bodied with good structure; it is fleshy in the mouth with pure red cherry and raspberry coulis notes, confit-like, nicely balanced with a smooth and quite seductive finish that lingers in the mouth. What a beautiful Vosne-Romanée -- one of Bruno's best this year. -Neal Martin

There's beautiful purity here, offering rose, cherry, cinnamon and mineral aromas and flavors, backed by a solid, well-integrated structure. Harmonious and long, with plenty of fruit echoing on the aftertaste. Best from 2019 through 2032. 7 cases imported. — BS
