Domaine Francois Lamarche, Vosne La Croix Rameau 2002

The Vosne Romanee La Croix Rameau 2002 from Lamarche is slightly austere and seems over oaked. In the nose quite floral red fruit notes and a dominant tone of oak. On the palate quite lean fruit – with a quite strong impression of oak. The midpalate fruit is quite ok, but it’s short and the finish is somewhat dry from what seems to be excessive oak. Bottom line – more oak and most likely also higher yields than I prefer … sadly not really a pleasure – disappointing for the vintage.
