Dujac Vosne-Romanée 1er cru Aux Malconsorts 2009

95 points Clive Coates (Decanter): " Delicious fruit. Lots of depth and energy. Fullish body. Very harmonious. Great style. Very fine. Drink: 2022+. (Aug 2016)"

94 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a 1.57 ha parcel). A highly spiced nose speaks of anise, clove and violet nuances on the pretty mix of blue and black pinot fruit and plum aromas. The rich, full-bodied, concentrated and powerful medium weight plus flavors possess a seductive and velvety mouth feel, all wrapped in a very firm and explosively long finish. This tightly wound and tautly muscular effort should be wonderful in due time though note well that this will require every bit of 15 years of cellar time. Comments: Outstanding. Drink: 2026+. (Jan 2012)"

94 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2009 Malconsorts is another fabulously perfumed and intensely flavored beauty in the making. The celestial bouquet jumps from the glass in a sappy, pure and very complex mélange of cherries, raspberries, duck, Vosne spices, coffee, orange zest, vanillin oak and stunning minerality. On the palate the wine is deep, fullish, pure and utterly refined, with beautiful focus, lovely mid-palate depth, fine-grained tannins and superb length and grip on the tangy finish. Just a beautiful bottle in the making and a sentimental favorite in the cellars (supplanting the Gruenchers as my favorite, unsung Dujac wine these last few years). 2017-2050. (Nov/Dec 2010)"

94 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Good full red. Cherry liqueur, cocoa, truffle and some earthy low tones on the inviting nose. Fat, sweet and very ripe; uncommonly lush and mouthfilling. Seems much more accessible today than the Beaux-Monts but this large-scaled premier cru boasts terrific depth to support a long life in bottle. Finishes very full and long. (Mar/Apr 2012)"

94 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "The 2009 Vosne-Romanee Aux Malconsorts comes across as quite cool and introspective. Ultimately that is a great sign for readers who plan on cellaring the wine. Today the Malconsorts is totally closed in on itself. It shows little of the exuberance it did from barrel. Still, from time to time the wine reveals hints of its brilliance and pedigree. The Malconsorts should be dazzling in another few years. Opening a bottle now is only going to be an academic exercise. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2029. (4/25/12)"

94+ points Fine Wine Review: "The Vosne-Malconsorts is broader than the Beaux Monts but still shows the cool dark fruits, although it is more closed for the moment than the Beaux Monts. I’d expect 2021-2054 for peak drinking. (Issue #137; 2013)"

94 points/'Cellar Selection,' Wine Enthusiast: "All tannins and black fruits, this is a powerful wine. It is tough, very strucxtured, firm and closed up. The acidity dominates the red fruits on the finish. It has immense promise for the long term. (Sep 2011)"
