Alain Hudelot-Noellat, Vosne-Romanee Premier Cru, Aux Malconsorts 2013 (Magnum)

Bright, dark red-ruby. A bit tired on the nose following the very recent end to its malo. Then dense and sweet in the mouth, showing excellent chewy depth to the black cherry, spice and mineral flavors. One senses outstanding complexity and potential here but this is currently in a rather disturbed state. Finishes sappy, saline and long, with serious but ripe tannins. I look forward to seeing this in its finished form.
