Wine No. 5 in the Vosne Romanee lineup. My notes - Powerful again without the finesse of DRC. Fine savoury Tannins without the intensity of the others in the group. My least pointed in the group. This Cuvée usually shows well at these tastings but underperforming in this company.

Had some funk that blew off to show a nice wine underneath.

Amazing wine from small 1.6 HA property. Earth driven , melted red licorice, stewed mushrooms and velvety smooth tannins, acid lasts a long time. Finessed wine that I wish we had more of...

Cured meat, licorice, blueberry, sour cherry, earth, and dusty herbs. Medium minus acidity and tannins. Less refined than else.

Vibrant Ruby. Opulent nose of red fruit. Full body backed by the Vosne spice. Long finish. Love this.

Amber edges. Soft red fruit with woody notes on the nose. Some herbal notes then plum, done tarry darker fruit. Nice balance

The 6th and final of the Vosne Romanee Grand Crus. Tasted blind. Red fruited without the intensity on nose and palate of the others in this final group. In past tastings La Grande Rue has been a standout and good value in relative terms but this year it lacked the depth class and intensity of the others in the group. To summarise the Vosne Romanee GC group the consensus of the group was #1 to the DRC RC, Equal 2nd to La Tache and the Thibault Richebourg, 4th to the Hudelot RSV, 5th to La Romanee ( a tough school when a wine as good as this is placed 5th!) and 6th to La Grande Rue. Congratulations to Prince Wine Store for putting this wonderful tasting on every year and being able to source these increasingly rare bottles. Already looking forward to the next one.

Sweet and spicy with some savoury earthy minerality. This is a monopole and just over the road (Rue) from Romanee Conti. Super fine tannins very much living up to its exalted address.
