The 2008 Vosne-Romanee La Colombiere comes across as a touch rustic. Sweet scents of tobacco, forest floor and autumn leaves are some of the nuances that emerge from this mid-weight Burgundy. The tannins dry out quite a bit on the finish, detracting from the wine’s overall balance. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018.
