2018 Clos Saint Denis Cuvée du Merisier Grand Cru Laurent Ponsot, Burgund (0,75l)

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2018 Clos Saint Denis Cuvée du Merisier Grand Cru, Laurent Ponsot

This is perhaps the spiciest wine in the range with a lovely mix of anise, exotic tea and sandalwood on the deeply pitched dark berry fruit aromas that also evidence a hint of volatile acidity. The rich, full-bodied and mouthcoating big-bodied flavors brim with sappy dry extract before concluding in a grippy and mildly rustic finish that still manages to deliver very good length. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2020
