Score 93/100 · Drink 2022-2040, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Jun 2020

The 2018 Mercurey 1er Cru Les Naugues is performing brilliantly, offering up a deep bouquet of crushed cassis, blackberries, dark chocolate and spices, framed by a deft touch of new oak. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and concentrated, it's built around ripe, powdery tannins and lively acids, concluding with a delicately vanillin-inflected finish. This will reward a year or two to come together, but it has turned out very well.

Sleek and dense polished nose of dark fruits and leather. Certainly on the riper spectrum of fruit but pleasant, chewy tannins and just enough zippy acidity. (AC)
