The 2016 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Reignots has an intense bouquet with dark cherries, violets, a hint of cold wet limestone and blood orange. The palate is medium-bodied with a silky opening, plush and yet tensile thanks to that silver bead of acidity. The quality of the vineyard really shines through in this Reignots, the tip of the tongue tingling with spice, the back absorbing those waves of crushed black and blue fruit. Gorgeous!
Very dark. Glowing purple. Not as aromatic as some but very deep and dense. Almost meaty. Great energy. Refined and muscular. Ambitious. Very long and builds on the end.
