Albert Bichot, Premier Cru, Domaine do Clos Frantin, Les Malconsorts, Burgundy, 2010

Tasting: Vosne-Romanee 2010

Curiously confected nose, bonbons and mokka. Medium-bodied but certainly concentrated, firm tannins balance the sweetness of fruit. It;’s solid but not very nuanced, and the finish is rather stolid and lacking in freshness.

Tasting: Vosne-Romanee 2010

medium red, rim just moving;
ripe, spicy, fresh, evolving, very fine and perfumed;
gentle fruitiness, fine middle, fresh finish, fine tannins need to soften.

Fine bright clear colour. Bouquet rather restrained at first. The balance between the fruit and the tannins is a trifle coarse. An enjoyable wine rather than a great one.
