Vosne Romanée Cros Parantoux, Domaine Emmanuel Rouget 2023

An exuberantly fresh and spicy nose is comprised mostly of the essence of red cherry, soy, hoisin, exotic tea and an unusual if attractive hint of citrus, particularly orange peel. The racy, delicious and delineated medium weight flavors are not especially dense but they are super-sleek and built on their minerality, all wrapped in a strikingly long, well-balanced and youthfully austere finale. Like the VRBM, this is very classy juice. (Drink starting 2035)
