2022 Domaine Bart Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru, Cote de Nuits, France 750ml

An attractively layered and fresh nose merges aromas of red and dark berries with those of earth, leather and a whiff of spice, all of which is trimmed in enough wood to notice. There is excellent richness to the large-scaled flavors that possess solid mid-palate density before terminating in a youthfully austere and sneaky long finish that is very firmly structured. This presently lacks a bit of verve, but I suspect that it will return to form once its racked and my predicted range offers the benefit of the doubt.
