Burghound 92-94: (from a .45 ha parcel). A perfumed, spicy and elegant nose freely reveals its array of plum, dark berries, exotic tea, violet and sandalwood wisps. The tension-filled and even more mineral-driven middleweight flavors possess a sleek mouthfeel that also suffuses the moderately austere and impressively persistent finish. This classy and stylish effort is impeccably well-balanced and also very much worth investigating. Drink: 2034+.
Vinous 92-94: The 2022 Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux Monts 1er Cru was completely de-stemmed. It takes a while to get going on the nose, with hints of blackcurrant pastilles, rose petals and a touch of iodine. It becomes more floral with time. The medium-bodied palate has velvety smooth tannins and a fine bead of acidity, sorbet-fresh, with a hint of licorice developing on the finish. It will need some bottle age to smooth its edges. Very fine, but one for the more patient amongst you. Drink: 2029-2050.
Jasper Morris 93-95: A concentrated central core of intense purple which mirrors the intensity of the fruit on the palate. Possibly less nuanced than I have sometimes tasted it, but early days. A very refined finish. More to come later on the nose, I suspect. Perfectly judged ripeness in the fruit.
Burghound 90-93♥: This is also mildly reduced but not so much that it gives me concerns about it cleaning up. On the palate, the energetic medium-bodied flavors are not, somewhat surprisingly, quite as fine but they do retain equally good punch on the balanced and lingering finale that is also sufficiently firmly structured to repay at least a decade of cellaring.
Vinous 93-95: The 2023 Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux Monts ler Cru has more Pinot Noir expression and delineation than the Les Petit Monts this yea-in fact, this is one of the domaine's finest aromatics with real complexity and nuance. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth entry. This is very concentrated and leans more toward the richer side of Vosne-Romanée, though the acidity keeps it in check and there is a long tail on the finish. It is superb.
