Vosne Romanée, Cros Parentoux -- Vintage 1999
Côte de Nuits, Henri Jayer
It seems that this has barely budged since it was bottled and at this point, the 750 ml note remains accurate though I found a bit less wood influence here than I did in the smaller format version: An expressive, ripe and elegant nose of Vosne style spice, moderate oak and a mix of earth, minerals and violets leads to rich, round and impressively precise flavors that deliver serious punch and excellent depth. I very much like the overall sense of harmony and fine balance here. This should age well and Jayer lovers will definitely be pleased. Note that in this format the '99 Cros will age for decades and it will require at least 20 years for this to be at its best. BH, Mar 08, 2008
Lot 55: Level: 0.5 cm. Slightly stained and scuffed label; heavily glue stained bottle; corroded and loose capsule. In carton
