2023 Domaine AF Gros Vosne-Romanée Aux Réas
JASPER MORRIS MW 90-93: Pulled out half a hectare (161/49 rootstock issue) after 2022 and replanted in 2023. Mid crimson to ruby, with a slightly more savoury nose than the Chalandins. Discreet up front then some cherries emerge further back. A spicy style of Vosne after the gloss of Chalandins, with perhaps greater length as well as structure. Drink from 2029-2034. Tasted Oct 2024. ALLEN MEADOWS 90-92 & OUTSTANDING TOP VALUE: Ripe…attractively fresh nose speak of red and dark currant, plum, exotic tea and a range of floral elements. The succulent but quite punchy medium-bodied flavors also flash good power on the balanced, long and youthfully austere finale. This is also excellent for its level and warmly recommended. Drink 2031+.
