2016 Domaine Guyon Vosne-Romanée Les Charmes de Mazières

Guyon's old-vine cuvée, the 2016 Vosne-Romanée Les Charmes de Mazières is also showing well from bottle, opening up in the glass with a classy bouquet of red plums, raspberries, orange rind, cinnamon and exotic spices. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and vibrant, with a deep, concentrated core, powdery structuring stem tannin and a long, sapid finish. Less fleshy and flamboyant than the 2015 rendition, this is a beautifully complex and precise Vosne that would embarrass many a premier cru.
