oyster shell and smoky mineral reduction

Here the nose is aromatically similar to the Clos Baulet but spicier

The house style embraces extreme finesse

the sauvage and humus

the 1999 is somewhat one-dimensional and not likely to improve considerably from here

Domaine Bellene, Vosne Romanee Suchots other_regions_italy oyster shell and smoky mineralAs with the Quartiers de Nuits, there is a very subtle hint of volatile acidity that adds lift to the mildly woody but exuberantly spicy dark berry fruit nose. There is good weight and punch to the velvety and round medium weight flavors that possess excellent intensity on the firm and somewhat disjointed finish. Though awkward today, this appears to have excellent underlying material and thus my score offers the benefit of the doubt. (89 92) 2022+
