I was informed that the outstanding 1997 Vosne-Romanee aux Reignots would not be filtered. Its sweet, floral, cinnamon, talcum powder, and cumin-scented nose leads to a profound, feminine, and complex personality. This is a wine that offers layers of candied red fruit, cherries, and spices in an immensely pleasurable and supple manner. Medium to full-bodied, lush, and softly textured, its immensely long finish reveals exquisitely ripe tannins. Drink this beauty over the next 7 years.
