Berthaut-Gerbet, Vosne Romanee other_regions_italy the 2017 Alter Ego de(from Aux Ras and Au Dessus de la Rivire). Discreet but still perceptible wood sets off much spicier aromas of poached plum and black raspberry coulis that are trimmed in exotic tea hints. There is a finer but not denser texture to the medium weight flavors that exude a more subtle minerality on the youthfully austere, firm and lingering finish. This should reward up to a decade of cellaring.
