This Forey Père & Fils Vosne-Romanée 2023 presents a deep ruby colour. The nose is complex, revealing aromas of mocha and undergrowth, light woody and fruity notes, wild cherry, nutmeg, camphor wood, and fine leather, which can evolve to subtle truffle. On the palate, it is full-bodied with silky tannins and notes of morello cherry and blackcurrant, offering a supple and fruity attack with fine, pleasant tannins that contribute to its remarkable balance and nice volume. It boasts a fleshy, sturdy body with a perfect balance between tannin and acidity, leading to delicious, slightly denser middle-weight flavors and a beguiling mid-palate succulence. Expect classic red fruit notes like cherry, strawberry, and raspberry, complemented by earthy, forest floor, and subtle oak nuances.
