2014 Perrot-Minot Vosne Romanee 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts, Cote de Nuits, Burgundy

A more deeply pitched nose consists primarily of dark currant and black cherry scents that enjoy added breadth in the form of orange pekoe tea, sandalwood, clove and cinnamon. There is excellent volume and focused power to the delicious and lush medium weight plus flavors that possess first-rate depth on the impressively long and beautifully well-balanced finale. This too is recommended. Drink: 2024+

‘Bright, dark red. The nose shows an almost confectionery red fruit sweetness without any roasted character, with a hint of banana dissipating with aeration; smells like a New World Pinot. Superripe, concentrated and thick, conveying strong sucrosité to its candied primary fruit flavors. Finishes impressively long, with the ripe tannins buried in fruit. At once unctuous and tender, this wine should give early pleasure, but there's enough underlying rocky minerality to ensure a graceful evolution in bottle. This parcel is at "the beginning of the Beaux Monts du Haut," notes Perrot-Minot.’ 90-93 Points Stephen Tanzer Vinous.com Jan 2016
