Tasting notes
Cask sample. A little inkier and with a tad more plushness and weight in the glass after the Clos des Porrets St-Georges this maintains the very fine showing from Gouges in 2022. Dark-berry and plum fruit. Touch of kirsch. More structured, needs a bit longer to fully meld together. But all the components are there. (AWH)
