2003 Vosne-Romanee, Les Malconsorts, 1er, Nicolas Potel
An interesting nose that blends floral notes, Vosne spice and moderate reductive notes introduce big, burly and robust flavors and a concentrated, punchy and somewhat dry and chewy finish. This is quite firmly structured, and while not elegant, there is plenty of personality. Patience will be required. Tasted 01 Jan 2005. Drink: 2010+
Nicolas Potel has always been an excellent source of predominately red Burgundy, Nicolas Potel started this negociant in 1997 following the death of his father and the subsequent sales of the family Dom de la Pousse d’Or. As Clive Coates described, “from the start, Nicky Potel’s range of wines was impressive, both for its breadth – he seemed to have a knack for securing parcels which had eluded his peers – and for its high quality. The wines are well-coloured, full without being sturdy, rich and succulent, pure and elegant.”

A very good villages but one that will require time.” Allen Meadow’s Burghound Jan 01 2009
“This elegant red is marked by new oak, with pure black cherry and blackberry notes. Starts out smooth, turning slightly astringent at the end. Yet there’s lots of sweet fruit, so give this some time to integrate. Best from 2010 through 2015.” Wine Spectator Nov 15, 2008
