The palate is textured and soft

black and blue fruit aromas trimmed in subtle floral notes that complement the rich

A sleeper of the vintage

but all the elements are impeccably balanced throughout

There's a hint of oak spice here but it is very subtle and beautifully melded with the fresh fruit of the variety

Joseph Drouhin, Vosne Romanee other_regions_italy The palate is textured and(from several lieux dits including ~20% from the 1er Les Chaumes). An exuberantly spicy nose features ripe aromas of dark cherry liqueur, sandalwood and exotic jasmine tea. The medium bodied flavors are not quite as dense though they are, as one would reasonably expect, more refined with even better depth and persistence on the well balanced if youthfully austere finale. Lovely juice and especially so for its level.
