The eye is immediately caught by the vermilion hue. The first nose conveys discrete hints of blackcurrant bud and flowers. Spices and small red fruit aromas appear on the palate on aeration with liquorice contributing character. The sweet flavour of rose provides subtlety and style. The overall harmony ensures depth and results in a dense, superb and peerlessly elegant wine.

An even more floral-suffused nose displays an array of poached plum, black cherry liqueur, earth and moderate wood influence. There is a lovely sense of vibrancy if not the same mid-palate density to the medium-bodied flavors that deliver excellent length and better depth on the balanced finale.

Domaine Drouhin Laroze Bonnes Mares Grand Cru 2020
A restrained, elegant and admirably pure nose features notes of fresh black raspberry, violet and rose petal. The delicious, dense and palate drenching big-bodied flavors possess both a beguiling texture and excellent power on the dusty, compact and youthfully austere finish that is noticeably more structured.
