2011 Domaine Jean Jacques Confuron Vosne Romanee Les Beaumonts

A distinctly spicy nose of plum, cassis, floral nuances and a discreet soupçon of wood marries seamlessly into wonderfully seductive and attractively textured middle weight flavors. There is an underlying minerality that adds lift to the dusty and mildly austere finish that offers fine persistence. This is lovely though it doesn't quite have the overall depth of the Boudots, or at least not yet. Burghound 90-92
