2017 Alain Hudelot-Noellat Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts 1.5L

JM(93-96)

WA 94, VM92-94, BH 92-94

Three barrels for the first time! To be bottled only in magnums and larger sizes. Full bright purple of medium density. The aromatics grow on the nose. Good phenolic maturity, extra mouthfeel here, perhaps shows the wood a touch more (tasted from one year old François Frères grain très fin barrel). But this does not dry it out. Very long finish. Tasted: November 2018.
