(from a .72 ha parcel on the Vosne side in the middle against the wall). Here the equally grudging and brooding nose is even earthier though aggressive swirling liberates fresh and softly spicy aromas of mostly floral-trimmed red currant. There is excellent volume to the impressively rich and punchy medium weight plus flavors that deliver very fine length on the energetic, firm and quite serious finish that is a bit less youthfully austere than usual. This is blessed with excellent underlying material and should mature well though again note that it will need it.
