2008 Alex Gambal Vosne Romanee Vielles Vignes (Magnum)

Made from grapes harvested from the AOC village Lieu dits of Au-dessus de la Riviere and Vigneux.

(86-88 Points) A lightly spiced cool red berry fruit nose introduces delicious, round and admirably pure flavors that possess a lovely sense of underlying tension, all wrapped in a finish where the structural elements also seem to be right at the limit of sufficient phenolic ripeness though again, this impression is undoubtedly exacerbated by the presence of ample amounts of carbon dioxide.
