2020 Domaine Forey Pere et Fils Forey, Vosne Romanee Les Gaudichots

A deft application of wood frames the ultra-spicy nose that is also notably floral – it’s clear that this could be from nowhere else but Vosne. Like the Petits Monts, the mouthfeel of the larger-scaled flavors is positively gorgeous thanks to the abundant dry extract that buffers the moderately firm tannins shaping the sophisticated finish that also reflects a hint of mocha. This saliva-inducing and quite firmly structured effort already possesses excellent depth and persistence, and more complexity should develop in due course. 94 points, Burghound
