Vosne Romanée Malconsorts, Domaine Dujac 2010

An intensely floral nose of cool Asian style spice notes merges with dark berry fruit liqueur, kirsch, earth and stone nuances where the minerality is also reflected by the big, rich and sleekly muscular large-scaled flavors. There is excellent concentration to the mid-palate that oozes dry extract that imparts a textured mouth feel to the driving and wonderfully persistent finish. This is a robust Malconsorts that is entirely consistent with a classic example but note that it will require plenty of bottle age. In a word, magnificent.
