Rated 95
CELLAR SELECTION
Dazzlingly complex, this wine gives aromas of black cherry, cinnamon, violets and dark chocolate on the nose. The palate is beautifully balanced, with flavors of grilled plum, fried shiitake and nervy raspberry lemon acidity driving the minute long finish. Lovers of exceptional Cru Beaujolais will love this style. Drink 2027-2040.
