Tasting note: Good deep red. Aromas of black fruits, menthol and licorice. Sweet and flavorful, but with a rather serious structural underpinning. Finishes with substantial chewy, tongue-dusting tannins and hints of iron and flowers. Nicely balanced, brisk wine. Forey believes the '07 version is more generous, but I'm not so sure. (89pts.

Tasting note: A fresh and notably pure nose that is very Vosne is trimmed in a bit of wood spice and features earthy red and black pinot fruit and underbrush hints that introduce rich, full and sappy flavors that culminate in a detailed, softly mineral and solidly long and firm finish. This will require a few years in the cellar first but there is already a trace of velvet on the backend which bodes well for cellar development. (88pts. Allen Meadows AKA The Burghound)

Tasting note: Forey's 2006 Vosne-Romanee – assembled from more than a dozen parcels and several fermented lots – features an essence of ripe black raspberry and cassis, with somewhat detached hints of caramel and spice from the new share of oak. This is brighter in personality than the corresponding Morey, but – at least for now – lacks quite its textural allure, seamlessness, or depth of flavor. (Could the fact that one lot was filtered be contributory, perhaps to a tardy marriage of the assembled parts?) But there is a promising abundance of snappy, tart-edged, yet admirably ripe primary fruit, augmented by chalk and cherry pit in the persistent finish. I suspect this will be better in 2010 and capable of holding nicely for 4-5 years. (88+pts. DS, Wine Advocate)
