Reviewed January 2023A gorgeous sucrosity brandishing black and red cherries, mulberries and brandy spiciness dazzles the palate. The silky mouthfeel is dreamy and the pillow-y soft tannins give this an unusual, almost immediate drinkability. This tends to be a more rigid wine at this point, but it is the absolute opposite in this vintage. The long, caressing finish is wholesome and moreish.
Take it home. Or give it a cellar.
Take possession as soon as your order is ready, or choose managed storage with RareStorage.

Burghound
Note: from a .70 ha parcel of 55+ year old vines that is now worked exclusively by horse. Firm reduction renders the nose unreadable at present. Otherwise, the palate impression of the markedly intense larger-bodied flavors is a bit denser with good power and an almost pungent minerality, all wrapped in a compact and hugely long finish that is noticeably more complex. This is very promising and while the 2021 Cros won't rival the best vintages of this storied wine, it's more than respectable.*Burghound Don't Miss!! Outstanding!!*

Vinous
Though the 2021 Vosne-Romanée Cros Parantoux 1er Cru was racked mid-July, this still has quite a lot of reduction on the nose that renders it difficult to read. The palate is velvety smooth, fine acidity, decent concentration with layers of dark berry fruit, quite candied with a touch of dark chocolate towards the finish. This is very fine. (NM)
