The 2020 Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux Monts 1er Cru has a wonderful bouquet, quite crystalline in terms of purity, delineated with mineral-rich red cherries and strawberry fruit. The oak is seamlessly integrated here. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins, a keen line of acidity, and fresh with a blood orange and allspice seam. The lovely caressing finish doesn't shortchange you on the structure and potential longevity. A sophisticated Vosne-Romanée. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.- Neal Martin

A beauty, this red is both elegant and intense, with a beam of pure cherry and wild strawberry focused like a laser, staying in lockstep with the taut, refined structure. Stony mineral, floral and spice elements add depth as this winds down leisurely on the finish. Best from 2025 through 2043. 30 cases imported.

(92-94 points) Another imperial black purple. The nose is very dense but not too ripe. A cracking intensity to this, with some lifted floral notes, very ripe lush cherry and raspberry but I think will come down on the right side. Fresh finish though with fine-grained tannins.
