"The 2019 Mercurey Clos des Barraults from the Juillot family was also raised in 30% new oak . . . . The wine is ripe, but also beautiful transparent in personality, offering up a refined bouquet of black cherries, a touch of dark berry, coffee bean, a lovely base of soil, smoked meats, a bit of nutty new oak and plenty of upper register smokiness. On the palate the wine is deep, full and well-balanced, with a fine core of black fruit, good soil undertow and grip, buried tannins and a long, complex and promising finish. This too is an excellent wine in the making." |
