Moderate wood stops short of fighting with the very spicy aromas of cassis and dark berry fruit coulis. The velvety and palate soaking middle weight plus flavors possess a seductive texture while offering more volume and power if less minerality on the ever-so-mildly warm but lengthy finale that is similarly structured.

On the palate this is massive, dense and opulent showing lots of ripe, voluminous fruit. It has a long but rather thick finish.

The nose is closed by its recent bottling and the SO2. On the palate this is massive, dense and opulent showing lots of ripe, voluminous fruit (...).

Probably the standout red at this tasting. A Vosne which exemplifies finesse with its alluring violet perfume and crisp dark-cherry fruit. A lovely premier cru which lives up to the position of Les Suchots between the grands crus of Vosne. (AWH) Drink 2023-2031

Ravishing nose of summer flowers and berries! So much depth and such great structure, but in spite of that, it is suave and silky with so much energy and finesse. Very long, graceful finish. Drink or hold.

"This is similar to the Petits Monts if perhaps just a touch riper. There is fine verve to the slightly bigger if less mineral-inflected flavors that flash very good power on the equally firm and persistent finish. This is pretty much a classic Suchots and very Vosne in style." 2031+

"The 2019 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots wafts from the glass with aromas of sweet wild berries, petals, warm spices and toasty new oak. Medium to full-bodied, layered and lively, with youthfully firm tannins that assert themselves on the finish, this is also a success chez Latour."

Lots of blackberries, mushrooms, oyster shell on the nose,together with hints of spice and smoke. Full, tight and four-squared with a beautifully framed palate of ripe dark berries, spices and dried mushrooms. Very persistent. Try in 2023.

Bright glowing purple. The nose is discreet but the concentration of fruit is relatively explosive in the mouth, dark and juicy, then firm tannins behind. (Tasted prior to bottling)

This is a solid wine with its dark tannins and structure from a vineyard close to some of the greatest Grands Crus. It is concentrated, showing the density of the appellation. There is a basic richness to this wine with its ripe black fruits. It is developing slowly and has a fine future. Drink from 2022.

Interesting aromatics - far less orthodox in a way than the Chaumes, with more lifted character, more perfume of truffle and game, and herby notes. The palate is flooded with sweet fruit over espresso, the oak ripe and richly toasty, but the fruit matching it well with its sweetness and density. Do juicy and sweet in the finish, but dry with creaminess to the texture, tannins and a good acidity, which arguably could be higher, but which does enough to leave this hedonistic and enjoyable. (UK)
