The Domaine Michel Gros 2000 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Clos des Réas is strongly marked by new oak, offering up aromas of French roast, weedy cherry and dried currants. On the palate, the wine is sweet, supple and seemingly generously chaptalized, with some grippy barrel tannins clamping down on the finish. I suspect this was quite alluring in its youth, but its best days are behind it.
