Bruno Clavelier, Vosne Romanee Combe Brulee other_regions_italy leaving behind vibrant spice(a villages level wine from 65+ year old vines). The aromatic profile is similar though with more evident floral influences. There is a bit more size, weight and richness if slightly less minerality on the medium weight flavors that deliver fine length on the naturally sweet and persistent finish. While firm enough to reward midterm cellaring, this should also be approachable young if thats your preference. (89 91) 2023+
