Vosne-Romanée “Les Jacquines” Reviews

Laced with violet and black currant aromas and flavors, this is silky and elegant. A firm backbone of acidity and tannins lends support and spice. Mineral and smoke accents emerge on the finish. The aftertaste goes on and on.

Exuberant and lush, this wine has a deep earthen character to contrast its vibrant fruit. It opens in the glass, as if you had opened the door of a dark root cellar, then brightens to spice and brandied cherry notes. The texture is velvet, even as the wine is all youthful intensity and grip. This vineyard lies at the border with Nuits-St-Georges, and takes Vosne’s silken elegance in that more robust direction.

Ripe and smoky, this full wine is juicy and packed with both fruit and tannins. It’s concentrated, with perfumed red-berry fruits showing strongly along with the tannins and firm structure. Its future looks good.

Prominent toast lends a smoky cast to the black cherry and black currant flavors in this flamboyant red. A layer of dusty tannins lines the finish. Shows fine intensity and length, with freshness.
