Tasting notes
Outstanding. This is also exuberantly spicy with its aromas of Asian-style tea, black cherry and cassis where floral top notes add a touch of elegance. There is excellent density and power to the robust medium-bodied flavors that flash a discreet minerality on the austere, compact and built-to-age finale. Patience definitely advised as well.

The 2020 Vosne-Romanée Aux Réas showed just a touch of over-ripeness on the nose, a very slight tinned prune nose among the red fruit, quite floral in style. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth entry, well balanced with sorbet-fresh with a pinch of salinity on the finish. I suspect that any over-ripeness will be fully absorbed with time and overall, this is quite elegant and refreshing.
