Domaine Bellene, Vosne Romanee Quartiers NuitsAn overtly spicy nose exhibits notes of sandalwood and black cherry that slides gracefully into fresh, cool and utterly delicious medium weight flavors that display a touch of minerality on the mildly austere, balanced, persistent and solidly complex finale. This is a fine villages and worth a look. (89 91) 2020+

fleshy core of fruit and a delicately toasty finish complemented with gastronomic bitterness

40% Mourvèdre and 10% Syrah that spent 16 months in equal parts concrete tanks and smaller barrels

but more mineral and earthy and less fragrant than previous vintages

A blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Cabernet Franc

but it would be hard to resist it

(78% tempranillo and 22% cabernet sauvignon

spice and ripe but cool white peach

it's very spicy with a wonderful core of plum and cherry preserves and beautifully plush tannins
