The Vosne-Romanée Aux Malconsort 2010 from Domaine Dujac is potentially a magnificent wine - although this example perhaps was a bit advanced. The nose is open and complex - lovely display of Vosne spices perhaps brought forward by a hint of VA. On … [Read more...] about Domaine Dujac, Vosne-Romanée Aux Malconsort 2010
