Description

Gerard Raphet Clos Vougeot VV Grand Cru 2022Note: from a tiny . 20 ha parcel of 100+ year old vines. More discreet wood sets off the ultra fresh nose of various red berries, spice, newly turned earth and a similar hint of humus character. The old vines are in evidence on succulent and tension filled medium bodied flavors that possess plenty of sappy dry extract that completely buffers the slightly firmer tannins shaping the lingering and firmly austere finale. Patience advised. Drink 2034+. 91

so much flesh to tannin

Its rim was as honed as my favorite knife
