Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Aux Brulees

88-90/100 | The Wine Advocate: "The 2016 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Brûlées has a reticent bouquet that demanded a lot of coaxing from the glass. It remained a little taciturn with broody blackberry and raspberry scents, confit cherries emerging with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and a fine bead of acidity. It clams up a little toward the second half that is driven by the wood tannins at the moment. As I remarked last year apropos the 2015, I wish the new oak would allow the great terroir to have its say." Neal Martin
