Domaine Francois Gerbet, Premier Cru, Les Petits Monts, Burgundy, 2010

Tasting: Vosne-Romanee 2010

Fairly deep to deep red. Rich succulent cherry and raspberry nose. Rich, supple, concentrated, hefty tannins, quite gd acidity, but lacks a little zest and elegance. There’s fine fruit here, but it needs more freshness and lift. Quite long.

Tasting: Vosne-Romanee 2010

rich purple-red;
complex, ripe, spicily aromatic, fine, fresh;
good start, then harsh finish, from extraction and poor oak tannins.

Tasting: Vosne-Romanee 2010

Medium full purple with a spicy, new oak nose, attractive though. It is dense, slightly tannic, very rich in fruit though perhaps not as supremely elegant as the other Petits Monts. Good length, an attractive, plump wine.
