Joseph Drouhin, Vosne Romanee Size:6x750ml the 2016 Harlan Estate reaches(from several lieux dits including ~20% from the 1er Les Chaumes). An exuberantly spicy nose features ripe aromas of dark cherry liqueur, sandalwood and exotic jasmine tea. The medium bodied flavors are not quite as dense though they are, as one would reasonably expect, more refined with even better depth and persistence on the well balanced if youthfully austere finale. Lovely juice and especially so for its level.
