Albert Bichot (Clos Frantin), Vosne Romanee Malconsorts other_regions(from a whopping 1. 76 ha parcel). Happily here there is no reduction present on the ultra spicy and floral nose where soft wood frames the ripe aromas of various dark berries and plum scents. There is excellent concentration to the robust and overtly muscular medium weight plus flavors that brim with dry extract on the structured and very firm but not hard finish that displays outstanding length on the mineral driven backend. This robust effort is

intense and tension-filled full-bodied flavors that possess excellent power and drive on the seductively textured

A slightly riper and more complex nose of very earthy and slightly sauvage dark berry fruit aromas set of by a touch of wood spice leads to dense and attractively textured medium-full flavors that possess a seductive mouth feel and I like the subtle sense of harmony as this is balanced

A wonderfully expressive and broad-ranging nose offers up notes of plums

the wine instantly pops with smoke

The medium-bodied palate is like a tightly coiled spring

Spicy and focused on the palate

The 2014 Masseto has taken quite a bit of time to start to emerge

(92-95)/2036+

Its not much fun to drink today and needs another 2-3 years of bottle age to hopefully open up

displaying sharp clarity

A real standout wine
