The 2015 Vosne-Romanee le Clos d'Eugenie has a soft mulberry and dark cherry-scented bouquet, the fruit profile becoming a little darker as it opens up. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth velvety texture and showing a little more bite and tension than the village cru, especially on the tensile finish. I can see this giving a decade's worth of pleasure, but do afford it at least two or three years in bottle.
Again that smell ? very slightly chemical fusty ? I think it must be the glass (which was carefully rinsed beforehand). Polished tannins. Racy and rather ?feminine? cashmere. Round and again a very slight lack of freshness until one reaches the grip on the end of the palate.?
