The 2017 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Cros Parantoux is impressive, unwinding in the glass with aromas of juicy cherries, cassis, exotic spices and smoked meats, framed by a touch of spicy new oak. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, deep and tensile, with good concentration at the core, fine-grained but youthfully firm structuring tannins and tangy balancing acids. As usual, it's one of Méo's finest wines.
