Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, July 2, 2019 - Joseph Drouhin Cellar Visit and Tasting with Vero (Beaune): Barrel tasting at the domaine. I always like this wine, but the 2018 might turn into a knockout. Red and black cherry with so much spice. Starts off powerful with near Grand Cru density, then quickly seems to become more graceful. Very long, finessed finish. 93-94 point potential.

I am very tempted since Petit Monts is rarely among the 2-3 Drouhins I open at release, but the 2018 Clos St. Denis was recently shockingly closed. Has me thinking maybe I bury all the 2018s deep in the cellar.
