Vosne Romanée 1er Cru Petits Monts (0.75 L)

(from two parcels that total .39 ha; they are worked by horse because there is no path for a tractor). An ultra-spicy and floral-suffused nose speaks of violet, rose petal, lavender, tea and a broad range of dark berry aromas. The highly refined, vibrant and beautifully well-delineated flavors exude evident minerality that continues onto the strikingly long and complex finish. This knockout is textbook Petits Monts. 94/2028+
