2005 Michel Gros, Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru, Clos des Reas 750ml

WA92-93

Although the blend will be equal measures of new and old oak, my sample came from a new barrel and so as expected has a very vanillary, opulent nose whilst the palate is very sweet and quite floral with oodles of cassis and blueberry. Good acidity cutting through all that opulence. The components suggest this will be a sensuous, almost exotic Clos des Reas.
