Gerard Raphet Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 2020

Note: from a .33 ha parcel, two-thirds of which was replanted in 1982 with the remaining vines planted in the 1920s.

Here too there is just enough wood to notice setting off the plummy, spicy and earthy black cherry coulis scents. Once again, the mid-palate of the big-bodied flavors is both succulent and juicy while delivering impressive length on the powerful, complex and youthfully austere finish. Fine development potential here. Drink 2035+. 91-94 Points. Allen Meadows' Burghound.
