(BH91-94 points) The perfumed, cool and airy nose is slightly more elegant with its mix of red and dark currant, sandalwood, violet and lilac scents. The polished and equally cool middle weight flavors possess a wonderfully refined mouth feel thanks to the fine grain of the tannins along with more evident minerality on the mildly austere, balanced and strikingly persistent finale. This is a classic Beaux Monts with an ultra-sophisticated mouth feel.

(WA92-94 points) The 2014 Vosne Romanée 1er Cru les Beaumonts has a stony, quite reserved nose at first -- tightly wound black fruit, precise and detailed, though not as expressive as Aux Brûlées at this stage. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry with firm, almost rigid tannin that frame the blackberry and raspberry fruit interlaced with citrus notes towards the correct, graphene finish. It should be afforded 3-5 years in bottle. - Neal Martin
