Firm reduction masks everything but a hint of spice nuance. The seductively textured, round and generous medium-bodied flavors possess better concentration thanks to the abundant sappy dry extract that also buffers the firm tannins shaping the powerful, robust and impressively long finale. This is a big Suchots in the context of what is typical and one where extended patience will also be necessary. *Outstanding*

The 2022 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru is 100% de-stemmed, though I would swear there were stems in this mix if I tasted this blind: pretty red fruit, loam with light graphite notes. The palate is very cohesive, the oak neatly integrated, a little spicier than other Les Suchots I have tasted. It doesn't quite deliver the plushness I seek from a Les Suchots, but it is very fresh and tensile with a fine dab of black pepper on the aftertaste.

All destemmed, one new barrel in two. Mid purple. A slightly woody and even sombre nose, with the barrel slightly drying the finish. There is attractive red fruit through the middle, and certainly some persistence, but I don’t quite get the class of fruit I would like to see. Drink from 2029-2036. Tasted Dec 2023.
