Subtle but not invisible wood frames the violet

Almost sticky in feel

the Fuligni style expresses elegance above all

with a chalky sensation and a finish that is a mixture of juiciness

silky tannins provide the backdrop as the 2001 opens up in the glass

Domaine Bellene, Vosne Romanee Suchots other_regions Subtle but not invisible woodAs with the Quartiers de Nuits, there is a very subtle hint of volatile acidity that adds lift to the mildly woody but exuberantly spicy dark berry fruit nose. There is good weight and punch to the velvety and round medium weight flavors that possess excellent intensity on the firm and somewhat disjointed finish. Though awkward today, this appears to have excellent underlying material and thus my score offers the benefit of the doubt. (89 92) 2022+
