Domaine des Clos 2022 Beaune "Les Greves" 1er Cru 750ml

A very ripe and distinctly earthy nose reflects liqueur-like aromas of dark cherry, plum and raspberry that are trimmed in subtle but not invisible oak. Like several of the wines in the range, the mid-palate mouthfeel of the larger-bodied flavors is really quite seductive due to the abundant level of dry extract that only partially buffers the notably firm tannic spine shaping the dusty, powerful and very serious finish. At least moderate patience advised.
