Roche Bellene, Vosne Romanee Beaux Monts Vintage:2014 A gentle application of woodThere is enough reduction present to push the spice and ripe dark berry fruit aromas to the background though it does not extend to the palate. The amply rich and full bodied flavors possess fine midpalate density and evident minerality on the succulent yet focused and slightly warm finale that is youthfully austere but not dry. I allowed this 24 hours of air and it remained reduced and I am always wary of wines that dont clean up with extended air.
