(93-95 points) A concentrated central core of intense purple which mirrors the intensity of the fruit on the palate. Possibly less nuanced than I have sometimes tasted it, but early days, A very refined finish. More to come later on the nose, I suspect. Perfectly judged ripeness in the fruit.

(92-94 points) A perfumed, spicy and elegant nose freely reveals its array of plum, dark berries, exotic tea, violet and sandalwood wisps. The tension-filled and even more mineral-driven middleweight flavors possess a sleek mouthfeel that also suffuses the moderately austere and impressively persistent finish. This classy and stylish effort is impeccably well-balanced and also very much worth investigating.

(92-94 points) The 2022 Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux Monts 1er Cru was completely de-stemmed. It takes a while to get going on the nose, with hints of blackcurrant pastilles, rose petals and a touch of iodine. It becomes more floral with time. The medium-bodied palate has velvety smooth tannins and a fine bead of acidity, sorbet-fresh, with a hint of licorice developing on the finish. It will need some bottle age to smooth its edges. Very fine, but one for the more patient amongst you. - By Neal Martin on November 2023
