2010 AF Gros

The Gros family's wines are strangers to no one.  While Anne Gros seems to have the most demand, her wines from AF Gros have been getting big scores and with good reason.  They have really performed from top to bottom with their 2010s (admittedly many have) and they are worth a look for any serious collector/drinker.

Vosne Romanee Clos de la Fontaine Monopole - This is a very complex yet fine wine.  It is already balanced and elegant.  The vines in this vineyard are relatively young and it shows but I don't want to take anything away from it.  It will probably be one of the earlier drinking wines.

Vosne Romanee Maizieres - Really good wine.  It is complex and expressive and while the nose is a bit tight the pallet is full of everything 2010 has to offer.

Pommard Les Pezerolles - This is vineyard is terre blanche in Pommard.  It has beautiful silky tannins, integration and balace.  Very much my style Pommard without the hard iron profiles you get from the terre rouge sites in Pommard.  Excellent. 

Pommard Epeneaux - Much of the same notes as above but this one clearly needs more time.

Echezeaux - Like Clos de Vougeot, the Echezeaux vineyard in 2010 seems to be outstanding among all the producers I have had.  There is depth and complexity with many layers to dig in to.  The tannins are fine but rich fruits and beautiful acidity.  Must buy.

Richebourg - The first sniff got a "Whoa!" out of  my mouth.  This has everything: fruit, tannin, acidity, and balance layer after layer. It is not as huge as some Richebourgs but who cares.  This is a truely amazing wine!
