Gerard Raphet Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2019 France Cinsault - Grenache with beeswax and paraffin notesModerate wood influence still allows the distinctly earthy and fresh red currant and raspberry scanted nose to be appreciated. The succulent, sappy and relatively seductively textured medium weight flavors possess good power as the old vines are in evidence on the lingering and more complex finale. This is really quite good and should amply reward extended keeping. 93 Pts Burghound
