Sunday, June 6, 2021 - Tremendous Vaucrains. This is not one of the Gouges wines I buy every year but it would appear the style transition from the austere and metallic Barolo-tannin wine it used to be is now complete. This needs some CO2 shaken out but then is plush and brimming with succulent black-cherry fruit which polishes the tannins down to fine powder. It's even sweeter and more harmonious the next day. All told, it's close to grand cru level in its richness and in how seamlessly it's put together - though longtime Gouges buyers have to be at least a little perplexed by a Vaucrains so easy and open-knit.
