Gerard Raphet - Clos-Vougeot Grand Cru - 2020 - Magnum

“Pretty and beautifully layered aromas of various ripe and fresh wild red berries, spice and newly turned earth are trimmed in just enough wood to notice. The solidly dense and intense medium-bodied flavors possess a sleek mouthfeel while exhibiting fine length on the overtly austere finale where a touch of warmth slowly emerges. This compact and tightly wound effort will need at least a few years of forbearance.” 93 Points Allen Meadows, Burghound
