The 2021 Vosne-Romanée Village has an attractive nose with quite generous red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit, hints of violet. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins, tensile and citrus-fresh with an orange peel infused finish. Very fine. -- Neal Martin, Vinous Media

A blend of three plots. A bright racy purple with plenty of energy on the nose. Some ferruginous note to this as well, on the leaner side but with a clean pure red fruit running all the way though and very persistent. Drink from 2025-2029. Tasted: November 2022.—Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

Tasting note: A much spicier though less earthy nose features notes of red currant, cherry and a whiff of herbal tea. The racy, intense and nicely detailed middleweight flavors flash a lovely texture before concluding in a youthfully austere finale that could use slightly better depth. Given the apparent aging curve, more complexity should certainly develop if allowed a few years of cellaring.—Allen Meadows, Burghound
