Punches above its weight

By no means a blockbuster (in a vintage that produced almost endless numbers of them)

Chateau Marsannay, Vosne Romanee Orveaux other_regions_australia My observation is that this(from a . 28 ha parcel). This presents a completely different aromatic profile with its overtly spicy aromas of black pinot fruit, violet, plum and hoisin that are trimmed in soft wood nuances. There is good volume but also fine delineation to the delicious and attractively textured medium bodied flavors, all wrapped in a lightly mineralinflected and beautifully well balanced finale. This too is worth considering. (90 92) 2021+
