Here too the reduction is sufficiently prominent to render an assessment of the nose impossible. By contrast the suave, round and almost delicate middle weight flavors possess both fine freshness and verve before culminating in a strikingly long and gorgeously complex finale that exhibits impeccably good balance. Like the Charmes this is lovely stuff and I particularly like the mouth feel as the natural sophistication of a fine Vosne 1er is very much in evidence. (Drink starting 2021) (AM)
