 Aux Réas 2008 Vosne-Romanée 17.5 Drink 2012-2018
Racy Vosne fruit and lushness and some real excitement here. Well done!
Also tasted 14 Jan 2010. Score 16. Drink 2013-17:
Smells a little cooked. Correct but a little bit raw. Chewy end. Not very comfortable but obviously lots of honest effort in here. Lots of substance.

 La Toppe au Vert Premier Cru 2008 Aloxe-Corton 16.5 Drink 2012-2018
Nose is inviting and almost exotic, a little spiced, nicely aromatic. Then unexpectedly juicy and fresh-faced on the palate. Silky, fresh and long. (JH)
