Vosne Romanée Malconsorts, Domaine du Clos Frantin 2014

Tasting Notes

**Note: from a whopping 1.76 ha parcel**
Discreet wood adds to the breadth of the overtly spicy and fresh if restrained nose of dark currant, plum and violet scents. There is both good volume and muscle to the mineral-inflected big-bodied flavors that possess excellent power on the imposing and beautifully long finale. This beauty is firm but perhaps a bit less obviously structured than usual though to be clear, it certainly will need at least a few years of cellaring first. In a word, lovely.

The 2014 Vosne Romanée 1Er Cru les Malconsorts has an elegant, refined bouquet with mineral-tinged red berry fruit, composed and a little backward but nicely focused. There is class here. The palate is supple on the entry with fine tannin, silky smooth in texture, very harmonious and nicely structured on the finish. This is a subtle Malconsorts, one that should not be underestimated.

A top note of menthol adds to the breadth of the overtly spicy and fresh nose of dark currant, plum and violet scents. There is both good volume and muscle to the mineral-inflected big-bodied flavors that possess excellent power on the imposing and beautifully long finale. This beauty is built-to-age and is definitely going to need it.
