The Dujac 2006 Vosne-Romanee Les Malconsorts - displays a more consistently sweet (cherry, plum, and blackberry) fruit and refined, creamier texture than the corresponding Beaux Monts. Black tea, star anise, honey, and brown spices along with a raw meat undertone add intrigue, and this finishes with polished, even soothing length. All in all, it struck me that Malconsorts and Beaux Monts were exhibiting a role reversal on this occasion. This is certainly grand cru in its complexity and length, and should I suspect merit following for the better part of a decade.
Good deep red. More savory aromas of raspberry, meat, chocolate and spices. Fat and sweet on the palate; less primary than the Beaux-Monts but very rich for 2006, with notes of chocolate and smoked meat. Finishes quite broad, with very smooth tannins.
