Côte de Nuits

• Vosne-Romanée

Purple/ruby in color, partially opaque and shimmering bright.  The nose is deep and complex.  Aromas of Cherries, sligh black cherries with a touch of pomegranate and a nice earthy quality.  Medium bodied.  Wispy tannins.  On the palate, this has moderate complexity.  Flavors of cherries and black cherries and underlying earthiness.  Long finish.  This is at peak or just past but still drinking nicely.  It will be better with food.  This would be nice with venison or else Roasted Acorn Squash.  Drink over the next few years, maybe a little more for well stored bottles.  

Ruby in color, clear and bright.  The nose has cherries, raspberries, a hint of white pepper and a background floral note.  Medium bodied.  Light tannins.  Flavors of tart cherries with a slight earthiness.  A very nice, solid wine.  Not a ton of depth but very enjoyable.  Seems to be at peak so better to drink sooner.  Maybe five to seven year window.  Very food friendly and nice on its own.  A nice choice with Salmon.
