This bottle of the 1996 is simply moving in its beauty

There is a modicum of light

Produced the very first year that Bruno Borie took over management of the estate

without the riper

This clearly needs to more fully integrate its wood

Duroche, Vosne Romanee Vintage:2018 This bottle of the 1996(from purchased fruit in Chalandins). Subtle but not invisible wood nuances set off the spicy red and dark currant scents. The very supple, fleshy and seductively textured middle weight flavors arent especially complex either and here its less clear that more depth will develop as the mid palate, while not dilute, isnt dense. In sum, this is certainly pretty but its not deep. (87 89) 2022+
