Domaine d’Ardhuy, Premier Cru, Les Chaumes, Burgundy, 2010

Tasting: Vosne-Romanee 2010

Subdued nose, perhaps a touch reduced, with a slight boiled sweets character. Medium-bodied, sleek, has some intensity, but then the very firm tannins kick in, suggesting a bit too much extraction. It also lacks some drive and complexity. Quite good length, with a rather dry finish.

bright red-purple;
slight reduction, spicy fruit;
light agreeable start, hollow in middle, dry tannins with alcohol show on finish.

Tasting: Vosne-Romanee 2010

Bright medium deep colour. A little hard to coax out the fruit at first. It is in a leaner style of fresh red fruit, yet quite persistent.
