The 2015 Vosne-Romanée Villages is fabulous, soaring from the glass with a beautiful bouquet of cherry, raspberry, sweet spices, black chocolate and a framing of creamy new oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and concentrated, with a rich chassis of tannins, bright acids and a long, intense and youthfully firm finish. With the depth and structure for the long haul, this is a Vosne villages to cellar for a decade or more.
Outstanding
Initially there is a whiff of reduction though it rapidly blows off to reveal a spicy and markedly floral nose that blends aromas of red currant, raspberry and sandalwood. There is better underlying energy and punch to the relatively powerful and concentrated flavors that also display noticeable warmth on the detailed and mildly austere finale. This is perhaps less elegant than it usually is but it's even more concentrated.
