Bouchard Pere & Fils 2018 Beaune du Chateau Rouge 1er Cru 750ml

Softly mentholated aromas of decidedly ripe red and dark currant flash hints of mocha, spice and earth. The exceptionally rich, round and delicious seductively textured medium-bodied flavors coat the palate on the sneaky long finish where noticeable warmth gradually emerges. This isn't over-the-top ripe but the sunshine of the 2018 vintage is definitely present.
