2005 Vosne Romanee 1er Cru

Bizot’s 2005 Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru in fact originates in the Les Treux portion of Echezeaux, whose fruit he always declassifies. Tiny Morello cherries with their pits, mace, coriander, black tea, and iris in the nose lead to an alluring, refined, juicy palate with bloody meaty notes emerging in a finish of luscious fruitiness and satisfyingly sweet spicy pungency. I wouldn’t personally care to defer the pleasure of revisiting this Pinot for more than 3-4 years. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524 1524
