Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
This was the first time that I have tasted the 2001 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Cros Parantoux, and it did not disappoint. The bouquet explodes from the glass with scents of maraschino, raspberry preserve, cold granite and orange sorbet - very vivacious and brimming over with energy, lending it a youthful persona. Interestingly, it mutates in the glass, becoming more animal-like and almost Northern Rhône-like. The palate is very well balanced with rounded, quite lush red and black fruit married with a keen line of acidity. This Parantoux is all about generosity, layering the mouth with lascivious red fruit all bounded by a tight leash of mineralité and an ash-like note right on the tip of the finish. It will surely be an awesome proposition in a decade's time...if you can wait that long. (NM)

Emmanuel Rouget’s 2001 Cros Parantoux is a very good example of the vintage that has aged better than I initially imagined it would. The wine is still quite defined by its generous serving of smoky new oak, but there is a lot of fine fruit, spice and soil tones here to balance out the new oakiness. The nose wafts from the glass in a complex blend of raspberries, red plums, Vosne spices, venison, lovely soil tones, coffee and plenty of smoky new wood. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and plush on the attack, with excellent complexity and balance, modest, well-integrated tannins, good acids and fine length and grip on the voluptuous finish. I would, of course, have liked this wine even better with slightly less new wood, but it is an excellent bottle in any case and is really starting to drink well at age fourteen, but clearly will continue to cruise along for at least a couple more decades to come. Good juice.

This last crossed my path in 2009 and it has evolved beautifully with its highly complex, layered and distinctly spicy nose that has now gone largely secondary in character. The delicious, intense, minerally and cool middle weight flavors terminate in a precise, linear and beautifully well-balanced finish that offers excellent length. For my taste this has now arrived at its peak though it should be capable of holding here for at least another decade. In a word, excellent.
