plum and plenty of pungent earth

chiseled and wonderfully long finish

only during aging and bottling

There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the stony and muscular large-bodied flavors that conclude in a youthfully austere and robust finale that flirts with rusticity

leather and spice flavors prevail as this tightens up on the finish

Gros Frere et Soeur, Vosne Romanee 1er Cru other_regions plum and plenty of pungent(this is declassified Echzeaux from vines located in Lochausses). A very ripe nose of red currant, plum, cassis and Vosne style spice is couched in mild oak influence that can also be found on the very rich, round and suave medium bodied flavors that are delicious and easy to like and culminate in a tangy and sappy finish. There is more here compared to the villages but its not quite as well balanced. 89 2014+
