This is also firmly reduced and impossible to assess the nose. The mouthfeel of the slightly more concentrated flavors is sleeker still with excellent intensity and plenty of minerality on the compact and more structured finale that is markedly austere. This is a wine to buy and forget you own it because even though the dense but fine tannins are well-integrated, this is definitely in need to a long snooze in a cool cellar. - BH

The 2020 Vosne-Romanée Les Malconsorts Cuvée Christiane 1er Cru is 80% whole cluster, very different in aromatic profile to the regular cuvée, more ferrous with hints of red pepper infusing the red and black fruit. The palate is very well-defined and comparing side-by-side, this conveys more energy and tension than the regular cuvée, almost with greater precision towards the finish. Very long and tender, this is a marvellous Vosne-Romanée for long-term ageing. - VM

Glowing rich purple, and here the bouquet is much more like normal. 80% whole bunch. 13.3%. This has the flowing sense of majesty, along with the firmer finish, but here the fruit swarms all over the back end. Very complete, very fine, luxury without vulgarity. And excellent persistence. - JM
