The beautifully long

As is always the case with a classic example of Baudes this is going to require all of a decade to arrive at its apogee

This is class in a glass but note well that ample patience will be necessary

This is markedly reduced at present so I would strongly suggest decanting it if you are tempted to open a bottle young

there is markedly more volume and power to the large-scaled if less refined flavors that possess much better mid-palate density before terminating in an impressively lengthy finish

Michel Gros, Vosne Romanee Brulees Vintage:2012 The beautifully long(35+ year old vines that abut the A. F. Gros Richebourg parcel in Veroilles). Prominent but not dominant wood frames the spicy aromas that are comprised mostly by notes of cassis, violet and anise. The more refined and precise if less concentrated flavors brim with evident minerality that also suffuses the moderately austere, long and well balanced finale. Some patience will be required.
