Vosne Romanée Malconsorts, Domaine Hudelot-Noellat 2016

Tasting Notes

The 2016 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts has a disarmingly beautiful nose with blackcurrant, briary and cold stone scents that offer great typicité. Likewise, the palate has a structure typical of this premier cru, denser and more mineral-driven than the Suchots, perhaps at the same time more aloof. But that is what you want from a Malconsorts and there is great precision on the long and tender finish. There is great potential here.

A markedly floral nose speaks of violet, lavender and rose petal, all of which adds elegance to the red and dark cherry aromas that exhibit plenty of Asian-style spice elements. There is outstanding energy and punch to the tautly muscular broad-shouldered flavors that possess fine mid-palate density that coats the palate on the stony and very firm finale. This is excellent though note well that it will not be for the faint-hearted in magnum format.
