Rouget Vosne Romanee 2023 750mL (Slightly Scuffed Label) US Red but remains balanced and focused"As readers will remember, this high altitude, late ripening site often delivers the most incisive wine in the cellar, and the 2023 Vosne Romane 1er Cru Les Rouges du Dessus is no exception. Unwinding in the glass with notes of dark berries, cassis and plums mingled with incense and spices, it's medium to full bodied, layered and concentrated, with a taut, chalky profile and a penetrating finish."
