The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Vieilles Vignes is performing very well from bottle, bursting from the glass with aromas of wild berry fruit, plums, smoked meats, dark chocolate and orange rind that becomes deeper-pitched and more brooding with time in the glass. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with powdery structuring tannins, succulent acids and a long and perfumed finish. This has gained additional depth and dimension in the last year.
