| Tasting notes: | Here the wood is a bit more evident though still very much in
the background as it sets off a classic Vosne nose with plenty of spice notes that are also reflected by the admirably rich,
velvety and pure flavors that possess good volume and quality length. This is worth considering. (88-91)/2014+ Allen Meadows
