1990 Domaine Leroy Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru "Les Beaux Monts"

What else do you want in a Burgundy? It's both powerful and delicate, with lovely, enchanting spice, plum, vanilla and black currant flavors that cascade across the palate, showing endless complexity. *Highly Recommended*

This remains quite darkly colored with obviously ripe, borderline aromas that are clearly Vosne in origin with loads of spice and secondary nuances to the black fruit and earth aromas that are followed by sexy, sappy and intense middle weight flavors that culminate in a mineral-infused, sweet and energetic finish that delivers outstanding length. This is sufficiently ripe that it is perhaps not a beacon of terroir but it remains unmistakably Vosne in basic character. This is really quite impressive and to my taste, it has arrived at its peak though one that should hold for a number of years to come.
