Domaine Nicole Lamarche - La Grande Rue Grand Cru Monopole - 2020

A more expressive nose freely offers up exceptionally pretty aromas that include the exuberantly spicy essence of various red berries, sandalwood and an interesting hint of orange pekoe tea. The richer but not as tightly wound medium weight flavors possess a borderline creamy mid-palate while the hugely long finish is youthfully austere but impeccably well-balanced. In a word, excellent. 93-95 Points Allen Meadows, Burghound
