2011 Domaine Cecile Tremblay, Vosne-Romanee Premier Cru, Les Beaux Monts 1x750ml

Vinous 92+

(there was just one new 350-liter barrel of this juice; this sunny spot was the first parcel harvested in 2011): Bright red-ruby. The nose suggests an exotic ripeness, with notes of dark chocolate, spiced apple and wild herbs. Rich, ripe and spicy, with harmonious peppery acidity framing and carrying the wine’s thick berry fruit and sweet oak notes through a long, reverberating finish. An intriguing expression of soil with suave tannins for the year and captivating lingering perfume. An excellent performance in a cool year. [Stephen Tanzer, 03/01/2014]
