2013 Domaine Jean Grivot, Vosne-Romanee Premier Cru, Les Suchots, Bottle (750ml)

The 2013 Vosne-Roman?e 1er Cru Les Suchots atypically has one of the more reticent aromatics from Etienne Grivot, sultry and brooding at the moment. With aeration there is a lovely pastille scent emerging as some kind of recompense. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannins and a silver thread of acidity. This is very elegant for a Suchots, more reserved than its peers, but at the same time very focused and pure with just the right amount of reserve to beg another sip on the finish. Excellent. - NM (12/2014)
