Vinous - Neal Martin (88-90)The 2023 Morey-Saint-Denis en la Rue Vergy has a generous bouquet that handles the 30% new oak better than some of Gros's other Village Crus. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. Yes, it's a little toasty, but here the wood is not so forceful. This just needs a little more complexity and terroir expression on the finish. |

The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet entry. This is quite a powerful Nuits Saint-Georges. The 50% new oak leaves the finish a little woody, though it should be subsumed with time. Fine. |

Burghound (87-90)A slightly more elegant nose freely offers up its blend of plum, crushed anise and a similar touch of humus-tinged earth. The lilting, precise and even finer middle weight flavors possess a beguiling texture that carries over to the moderately austere but not really rustic finale that is shaped by firm but relatively fine tannins. This should repay mid-term keeping of up to a year yet be approachable after only 4 to 6 years. |

The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, slightly chalky in texture, moderate weight. What I would like is more flair on the finish, but it's not that kind of vintage. Just a bit conservative. |

Again, this just needs that oak to be better assimilated, hence my prudent score. |

Wine Advocate (88-90)The 2016 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Brûlées has a reticent bouquet that demanded a lot of coaxing from the glass. It remained a little taciturn with broody blackberry and raspberry scents, confit cherries emerging with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and a fine bead of acidity. It clams up a little toward the second half that is driven by the wood tannins at the moment. As I remarked last year apropos the 2015, I wish the new oak would allow the great terroir to have its say. |

Wine Advocate (89)Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. There is a little reduction to bypass on the nose, although underneath this Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Clos des Réas appears to be some attractive cranberry and blackberry/briar scents, with fine tension and nicely integrated oak. The palate is crisp, lithe and silky in the mouth, commencing in harmonious fashion, but becoming a tad hard toward the finish. I am certain that bottle age will tenderize this Vosne-Romanée, but it seems sulky at the moment. I remain optimistic that it will repay 5-6 years in the cellar. |
