Pierrick Bouley 2020 Monthelie "Les Clous" 1er Cru 750ml

There is just enough reduction present to shave the top notes from the very ripe aromas of warm earth, cassis and poached plum. There is excellent punch to the enveloping medium-bodied flavors that conclude in a moderately austere, sappy and sneaky long finish that is structured enough to reward up to a decade of cellaring.
