A restrained, cool and superbly elegant nose features perfumed notes of Asian spices, red currant, plum and lavender along with the hallmark mineral nuances, all of which are trimmed in discreet wood. There is superb intensity to the refined, delineated and focused medium-bodied flavors that are shaped by dense but exceptionally fine tannins that are impeccably well-integrated on the energetic and explosively long finish that is distinctly saline in character. This is drop dead gorgeous and indisputably built to age.
My sample of 2012 Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Cros Parantoux came from the three new barrels produced by the domaine this year. The nose is quite closed at first but opens with vigorous swirling over the next two minutes, offering scents of baked cherries, bergamot, minerals and wild strawberry that are all beautifully defined. The palate is medium-bodied with a firm backbone, layers of mineral-rich black fruit, superb tension and laser-like precision towards the finish. This is an impressive, convincing Cros-Parantoux, one of the best that I have tasted at the domaine.
A restrained, cool and superbly elegant nose features notes of Asian spices, red currant, plum and lavender along with the hallmark mineral nuances, all of which are trimmed in enough wood to notice. There is superb intensity to the refined, delineated and focused medium-bodied flavors that are shaped by dense but exceptionally fine tannins that are impeccably well-integrated on the energetic and explosively long finish that is distinctly saline in character. Like the Brûlées, this is indisputably built to age.
