Blinded, everyone agreed this was Burgundian but had their own ideas on village, vintage, and producer. No one figured out it was from Vosne - perhaps it just lacked the hallmark perfume and exoticism one might think of in Vosne (once more, the fallacy of generalisation in wine). MR was spot on with vintage though, and he was insistent about it due to that touch of austerity in the finish he typically finds in 08’s. As for producer, only MJ thought of Cathiard once the village was established. I was tossing between Mugneret-Gibourg (KP rebuts not sexy enough) and Meo (again KP rebuts not bright enough). What a tough blind by KP! The wine itself was powerful and concentrated, with lots of mid-palate density, yet as MR observed, a tight finish. Flavours-wise, it featured heaps of red and black fruits (leaning more towards the latter) and some noticeable oak (though not decadent - nice quality!), as well as some earth and meat which probably threw me off in the blind. Having said that, the Vosne origin may have been linked to via the finish which had ample spice notes. A silky texture, lovely mineral undertow and tight acidity wraps up the wine. Really excellent wine but the pieces have yet to fall together to maximise drinkability. One to keep your hands off for now.

Clear and ruby red. After the green-ness has blown-off, this has a lovely fresh nose- lovely bright fruit with black cherry, some vosne spice, some green herbal notes. Lovely and vivid on the palate. The fruit softening and pretty and long

2008 vintage. Aux Malconsorts. After an hour of air, starting to really stand out. Red fruit profile, earth and leather, sweet spice - depth. On the placate, crisp acidity, medium minus sweet tannins, medium plus concentration and long finish. Although still fruit forward, with air, this wine shows its pedigree.
