2023, Domaine d'Eugénie, VOSNE-ROMANÉE, 1er Cru, 'Aux Brûlées'50% whole bunch vinification was possible after significant triage. Four new barrels in nine. A fine deep crimson ruby colour. The bouquet is reserved, with concentration, but ungiving as yet. The Brles starts to sing on the palate, especially towards the back with a wealth of ripe red cherry, a touch of useful acidity, and some little red berries as well. Medium plus length, still an embryo. Drink from 2030 2036. **** 92 95 Jasper Morris MW, Inside

it's a charming

Here too there is enough wood to notice while remaining admirably subtle on the very Gevrey nose of truffle

The medium to full-bodied palate bursts with earth-laced black fruits

This forward

with more nuance than many

Lamb is a perfect accompaniment

though never quite achieving the flair of the Valmur

The nose shows a certain amount of dark red fruit but is quite restrained

Drinking Window: 2024 - 2026

This should age effortlessly over a decade plus

spice and chocolate are front and center in this decidedly hedonistic Pomerol
