Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots was offering strawberry pastilles and redcurrant jus scents on the nose, some creamy new oak still to be absorbed but everything seems to be in sync. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy ripe tannin, crisp acidity and fine mineralité. There is a bit of swagger and joie-de-vivre to this Vosne-Romanée, especially on the finish. Modern style but very well crafted, it should peak in around 7-9 years. Tasted September 2016.
