2004 Gros Michel Vosne-Romanée Clos des Réas

By billn on April 07, 2011

The nose has plenty of oak and dark cherry, a little farmyard too – eventually developing high-toned aromas too – I see no vintage character, but oak can obscure that – all the same nice. Good texture; mouthfilling with plenty of well-mannered tannin. Long and darkly flavoured – a good wine for drinking now.

Deep and less floral than the ‘Vosne’, but again quite an intense nose. In the mouth there’s also intensity of flavour and reasonable tannin behind it. The acidity is just a little bright and there’s plenty of oak on the finish.

1996 Gros Michel Vosne-Romanée Clos des Réas

Medium-plus with no fading again well integrated oak and fruit shaded to black. Less forward and firmer than 1997. Very good acidity and well mannered tannins – very young still.

1995 Gros Michel Vosne-Romanée Clos des Réas

Medium-plus colour. Nose is most closed yet – no obvious oak. Some others didn’t care for this wine but with intense fruit and broad tannins I really enjoyed this slightly more rustic performance.

1994 Gros Michel Vosne-Romanée Clos des Réas

Medium ruby red fading to amber. Red nose with a hint of spice. Mature palate despite the slightly rasping tannin with sweet creamy fruit. A little shorter than the rest.

1993 Gros Michel Vosne-Romanée Clos des Réas

By on February 29, 2004 #asides

Darkest and best of the first 10 wines. The colour shows a deep ruby with a more watery rim. Still showing a trace of oak on the nose with distant black shaded fruit – more closed than the others. Simply super depth to the fruit. The tannins are denser but very well presented. Acidity that’s ‘just right’. The star of the line-up so far. Will be excellent.

1992 Gros Michel Vosne-Romanée Clos des Réas

By on February 29, 2004 #asides

Medium-plus ruby red with a little amber. The nose is less expressive than when tasted 1 hour ago. After the 1993 the fruit is a little muddied. In isolation a nice wine, but after the 1993…

1990 Gros Michel Vosne-Romanée Clos des Réas

By on February 29, 2004 #asides

Medium-plus ruby red. Sweet red nose, little estery too. Super-sweet fruit on the palate, nice acidity and creamy tinge to the finish. Excellent, but 1991 stands out more for the vintage.
