Launay Horiot 2020 Pommard "Chaponnieres" 1er Cru 750ml

A discreet application of wood sets off the slightly riper aromas of poached plum, anise, black raspberry and more prominent earth influence. The richer and more concentrated bigger-bodied flavors flash a taut muscularity on the lingering finish that is supported by surprisingly fine-grained tannins on the balanced and equally austere finale. Good stuff that is also worthy of your consideration.
