Vosne Romanée Malconsorts, Domaine du Clos Frantin 2009

This is also wonderfully spicy with a densely fruited if restrained nose of cassis and plum that is cut with distinct floral notes. The big-bodied flavors are rich and supple yet quite serious and this too is loaded with dry extract that confers a seductive texture to the firmly structured and lingering finish. It's clear that this incredibly concentrated effort is at another level altogether.
