Vosne-Romanée, Cros Parantoux--Vintage 1978
Côte de Nuits, H. Jayer Level: 1.5cm; cut capsule, Domaine, vineyard and vintage branded cork, lightly bin soiled label
"As with the '78 Echzeaux, I have encountered significant bottle variation with this wine. The bottle at the tasting was very fresh and I believe representative of the wine at its best. Deep ruby with virtually no bricking. The nose is vibrant, youthful and quite fine with an obvious mineral component to it and the middle weight flavors are also fresh and lively with only some secondary character to the ripe, balanced, still moderately structured flavors that offer outstanding length. While this does display dazzling complexity and extraordinary richness, it is not demonstrably better than the '78 Echzeaux." BH, Oct 17, 2003
