2003 Mommessin Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru (6/27/2009)
I’ve been re-tasting this for three days. I have really tried to like this…but it just isn’t good. So fruity, oaky, and fat that it could seriously be guessed as a Cab in a blind tasting. Zero typicity at this point in my opinion. Coffee and bitter chocolate on the nose. Lush cherry and blackberry on the palate. Finish is clipped and acidity is too low. I know this was a very hot vintage, so mother nature is at least partially responsible for this abomination of a Burgundy, but the oak is human-infused, so the winemaker will have to take responsibility for that decision. I don’t often dump out wine, but this deserved it. Stay away from this as far as you can.
