The Vosne Romanee Les Croix Rameau 1999 from Cacheux is not a memorable bottle. In the nose a quite austere fruit expression with some quite strong hints of oak. On the palate loads of tannins and quite lean fruit – not very pleasent. No flaws detected – but hopefully other examples are better. In my view it seem to be over oaked and yields too high. Frankly awful … sadly.
