Vosne Romanée Les Beauxmonts, Domaine Dujac 2023

A cool, airy and elegant nose is comprised by purple fruit, exotic spiced tea and pretty floral wisps. The super-sleek, detailed and mineral-driven middle weight flavors exude evident minerality on the youthfully austere and strikingly persistent finale. This is not particularly dense but the balance is excellent and this too should age effortlessly. (Drink starting 2035)

A fairly intense ruby purple colour. Class and elegance to the nose, though being quite discreet at the moment. Partly a heady red fruit, partly some darker raspberry behind, a firmer and drier finish, this is not all quite together, and should build from this cautious assessment. Drink from 2032-2038.
