Note di degustazione
The 2015 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru is a little overdone on the nose, one of the few 2015 Premier Crus to come across as jammy and lacking delineation. The palate is sweet, chewy and very oaky and the wood tannins dominate the unappealing finish. I understand that this is praised elsewhere, but I have never warmed to the style of the domaine and my skepticism is borne out by this blind appraisal. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

Dark red-ruby. Incredible nose melds black raspberry, licorice, Asian spices, minerals and cocoa powder. Densely packed and powerfully structured but the wine's finesse of texture ensures a magical light touch. Pungent minerality and floral character give the middle palate rare energy for the vintage, belying the wine's 3.75 pH. Finishes savory and extremely long, with late-arriving tannins saturating the sides of the teeth. I find this a bit tighter today than the 2016 version, and indeed Confuron says the tannins here are a bit less ripe. But he's splitting hairs. Offers a compelling combination of sensuality and power.
Cask sample. Dense and tightly woven. Bitter chocolate character, dark black fruit with a charred note on the finish. Finely grained but requires many years of maturation. (RH)
