2013 - Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Cros Parantoux, Meo Camuzet

The 2013 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Cros Parantoux has a really quite alluring, complex bouquet with broody dark cherry, blackberry leaf and cold wet stone aromas that are both detailed and intense. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, razor-sharp tannins that form a lattice around a core of red fruit. There is a pastille-like purity and an electrifying finish, whose "current" feels long in the mouth. This is very classy: a great Cros Parantoux, terroir shrugging off what the season threw in its way.
