Tasting notes
Very rich aromas of exotic red fruits, coffee, leather and minerals. Sweet, lush and rich, with impressive body and depth of flavor. Finishes with big but ripe tannins and very good length. This is already quite approachable.

Produced from 60-70-year old vines, the 2003 Vosne-Romanee La Colombiere displays a boisterous nose of red cherries and spices. Medium to full-bodied, intense, and succulent, this admirable wine exhibits a rich, ample personality redolent of candied red cherries as well as raspberries. Opulent yet focused, its character seamlessly lingers for 30 seconds or more in its lush, sweet finish. Drink it over the next 7 years.

Quite rude and crude on the nose. Sweet and relatively loose, with lots of CO2. Very chewy. Ambitious. Confident. Something almond-like. Very strong. Very lively. Very bio. (JR)
