1978 Henri Jayer, Vosne-Romanee Premier Cru, Cros Parantoux, Bottle (750ml) [3.5cm Fill]

VM94 "It has quite a youthful, finely delineated nose of Morello cherry and crushed strawberry, though I would not say it is complex. This is sprightly, though to juxtapose the wine directly, the '78 Echézeaux from Dujac has more gravitas. The palate is medium-bodied with a crisp and primal entry. There is plenty of brightness in this Cros-Parantoux: vivid red fruit, fine tension and just a little warmth blurring the edges on the finish. It is a delicious wine, though given the price tag, I can think of plenty of others at a fraction of the price that will provide more pleasure" NM for VM Apr. 2025.
