The 2014 Vosne Romanée Maizières, from a vineyard whose vines were pulled up after the 2015 was harvested, has a delightful, vivacious bouquet with red cherries and crushed strawberry fruit. I like the delineation, the energy here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, supple tannins and well judged acidity. The 40% new oak just adds a touch of dark chocolate towards the finish, but I wager that there is sufficient fruit to soak it up, if given a couple of years in bottle.
