Notes of smoked duck, plums, Asian spices, rose petal and orange rind introduce the 2017 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts, a medium to full-bodied wine that's the deepest, densest premier cru in the Dujac cellar this year, though it retains the suppleness and elegance that characterizes the vintage at this address. While its firm back-end structure will require some bottle age, I suspect it will always be more accessible than the 2016 and 2015 renditions.
