Domaine Lamarche Vosne Romanee Les Chaumes 2003 1re Cru

By David

I visited this domain last year and discovered that The Prince has some. The colour is lovely, bright and deep. The nose is oozing cherries and a little spice. The palate is BIG. The tannins are somewhat softer than I expected but the fruit is lovely. The alcohol suggests more than the 13.5% on the label and it does look a little flabby. The wine was consumed blind alongside a number of other Pinots from the new world and although it had lovely length and flavour it could have been mistaken for a Californian wine. Lovely, but not sure if it will last to the next decade, but I would be happy to consume over the next few years.
