2010 Emmanuel Rouget Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru "Cros Parantoux"

Rouget noted that this had just finished its malo and not surprisingly the nose was heavily reduced. By contrast there was excellent punch and verve to the wonderfully precise mineral-driven flavors that possess a silky mouth feel before terminating in an explosive finish that delivers outstanding length. I very much like the level of complexity here as well as the decidedly understated style. *Outstanding*
