2009 Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru La Croix Rameau François Lamarche, Burgund (0,75l)

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2009 Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru La Croix Rameau, François Lamarche

Here too mild wood spice mixes with the natural Vosne spice elements as the fresh red and black pinot fruit aromas are cut with warm earth notes. The rich, suave and very round flavors are blessed with copious amounts of dry extract that render the structural components almost invisible on the complex and ultra-seductive finish. This is really quite good, indeed it's distinctly better than I typically find it. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2012
