2014 Vosne Romanee La Croix Rameaux

The 2014 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru La Croix Rameau comes from a vineyard that Nicole reliably informed me is named after the 17th century musician, though I read elsewhere that more prosaically, it takes its name from a 17th century barrel maker. Whatever...it has a complex bouquet with red cherry fruit, dried orange peel and rose petals, very complex and engaging. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, very precise, almost understated. This is not a powerful wine like the Suchots, but it is very precise and engaging, slips down the throat with almost too much ease.
