Beaune 1er Cru Grèves (0.75 L)

There is plenty of floral influence on the much less obviously spicy and admirably pure aromas of redand black fruit, warm earth and orange peel wisps. The racy, intense and beautifully delineated middle weight flavors exude a subtle minerality on the youthfully austere and mineral-driven finish. This could use better depth, but more should reasonablydevelop with a few years of bottle aging. (90-93)/2030+
