Note di degustazione
The 2016 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru has an open-knit bouquet with red berry fruit, briary and hints of tomato vine. Nicely defined if just missing the verve of some of its peers. It evolves an unwanted, malodorous "Bovril" scent with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannin. I find this over-extracted and missing definition and freshness on the toffee-tinged and sadly oxidised finish. Disappointing. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.

Relatively understated nose, and the palate is compact and austere, with bitter chocolate and ferrous, bloody flavours. Tight tannins, high acid, medium body. A heavy-hitter. (RH)
Full ruby-red. Knockout nose combines tangy black raspberry, black cherry and licorice aromas lifted by high notes of flowers and blood orange. A dense, sappy, compellingly smooth wine with grand cru texture and class. Incredibly silky, broad flavors of dark fruits, violet, coffee and cocoa powder convey a weightless quality. Confuron's large parcel of vines (2.13 hectares) lies very close to Domaine Leroy's Romanée-Saint-Vivant. Finishes with utterly refined, late-arriving tannins and extraordinary building length that leaves the taste buds vibrating. Confuron compared this wine to the legendary '47 and '49 vintages.
