The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Les Malconsorts 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet of dark berry fruit, oyster shell, sous-bois and rose petals, intense and fragrant. The harmonious palate is silky-smooth on the entry with finely judged acidity. A subtle touch of spice develops nicely toward the finish, which leaves a persistent, peppery aftertaste. A toothsome Vosne-Romanée to tuck away for several years. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.

Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Les Suchots 2011 is more reserved on the nose than their Chaumées, but there is a touch more complexity, the brambly red and black fruit infused with fine minerality and tension. The palate is smooth and rounded on the entry with a lot of extraction so that it feels plump around the middle. Juicy and pure, what it lacks in complexity is compensated by its saturated tannins and opulent blueberry-tinged finish that is just missing some persistence, cutting away before you have had an opportunity to show your gratitude.

The 2015 Vosne Romanee 1er Cru les Suchots offers up aromas of plums, cassis and spice, followed by a medium-bodied, rather inscrutable palate without any real discernible concentration or depth. Perhaps the wine is simply closed down after bottling and will emerge from its shell with age?

The 2021 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru has a pretty, light nose with crushed strawberry and raspberry fruit, well-defined if just missing a little fruit concentration. The palate is medium- to light-bodied with pleasant edgy tannins, nicely pitched acidity, quite linear at the moment with a dab of spice towards the finish. Modest length.

The 2004 Campoleone, the estate's signature wine, is simply gorgeous. This blend of equal parts Sangiovese and Merlot spent 12 months in French oak. It is a firmly structured wine with superb density on the palate, where layers of tobacco, dark cherries, earthiness, smoke, licorice and toasted oak all come to life. The tannins finish slightly dry and astringent, likely a result of an overly exuberant use of French oak. Still, this is a beautifully delineated, focused Campoleone.

Immerse yourself in the distinguished flavour profile of the exceptional Lamborghini Campoleone 2010. This superlative wine is born in the heart of Italy's renowned Umbria region, a place of serene beauty and rich viticultural history. Crafted by Lamborghini, a name synonymous with excellence, the Campoleone is an artful blend of 50% Merlot and 50% Sangiovese, all meticulously hand-picked and aged for 24 months in French barrique.

Each sip reveals layers of complexity, from robust, ripe fruits to subtle undertones of tobacco and spices. Luxuriously full-bodied, yet displaying elegant smoothness, this red wine exemplifies the prowess of Italian winemaking.

Favourably reviewed by esteemed wine critics, the Lamborghini Campoleone 2010 perfectly embodies the winery's steadfast dedication to crafting wines that are not just tasted, but truly experienced. Savour the unforgettable journey of tantalising aromas and enduring finishes this exceptional wine provides.

Good medium red. Highly complex, inviting aromas of black raspberry, mocha, licorice, black pepper, burning cinders and herbs. A lovely midweight wine whose considerable power is nicely countered by subtle sweetness and the herb and pepper nuances from the stems. The long finish features slightly peppery tongue-dusting tannins and a pungent note of licorice. But I prefer the '93 for its suavity and greater persistence. (13.2% alcohol; 3.51 pH; 3.5 g/l acidity; made from perfectly healthy grapes, according to Brouin, who vinified this wine with a sizable portion of whole clusters, as he did for the first time in 1985)

Moderately saturated medium red. Classic Clos des Lambrays aromas of dark fruits, game, cinders, pepper and minerals. The flavors follow directly from the aromas, with the wine's harmonious acidity and pepper and spice notes giving it lovely inner-mouth lift. A bit less silky and sweet than the 2001, and not quite as generous, but this wine too is distinctly fine-grained and beautifully balanced. Finishes graceful and very long, with suave, integrated tannins and notes of dried flowers and minerals. (13.5% alcohol; 3.5 pH; 3.7 g/l acidity)

Excellent ruby-red. Smoky, floral aromas of blueberry and black raspberry. Sappy and thick but lively and delineated, thanks to penetrating, ripe acidity. A distinct step up in density of material. Very fresh and youthful. Really spreads out on the palate. Beautifully balanced and complete. Finishes with substantial dusty tannins and palate-coating, primary fruit.

Moderately saturated red. Wonderfully suave, mellow, inviting scents of raspberry, mocha, smoke and underbrush; the most resolved and integrated nose to this point of the tasting. A classic, harmonious Clos des Lambrays with impeccable balance and a wonderfully refined, silky texture to its flavors of red cherry, red berries, mocha and underbrush energized by high notes of pepper and spices. Not a powerhouse but this beauty fills the mouth while conveying a magically weightless impression. Finishes with sweet, perfectly supported tannins, a sexy floral quality and subtle building length. Two thousand one was a great vintage for Morey-Saint-Denis grand crus, noted Thierry Brouin, who told me he also loved the Clos de Tart. About as elegant as this wine gets. This vintage was the lowest in total acidity of my tasting but the wine hardly lacks for verve. And it has blossomed beautifully in the bottle. In fact, this is the highest score I've yet given for this vintage of Clos des Lambrays. (13.8% alcohol; 3.62 pH; 3.3 g/l acidity)
