Tasting notes
The 2000 Vosne-Romanée Aux Malconsorts 1er Cru is far better than the 1998, an ethereal wine that transcends the growing season. It has a stunning nose of mineral-saturated black fruit, evoking a sense of transparency that is absent on the 1998. It’s just pure unadulterated Pinoté. The palate has a slightly ferrous entry, a little earthiness, fine structure and just the right amount of sapidity on the finish. This long and tender Malconsorts is à point. Its current market price brings a tear to my eye when I think how much of this wine I guzzled back in the day.

Admirable richness of fruit but the first bottle had a bit of TCA while the second bottle was pretty brutal in texture. (JR)
Scented, more lifted than the Suchots. More structure and less obvious fruit. Layers. Wait! So subtle. Certainly grand cru quality. (JR)
