Laurent Ponsot Cuvée de l’Erable Echezeaux Grand Cru 2020

Moderate reduction dominates the nose so if you’re tempted to try this young be sure to give it a thorough aeration. More interesting today are the attractively fresh and tension-filled flavors that exhibit excellent delineation on the sappy, complex and even more persistent built-to-age finale that is also mildly warm. In a word, impressive. Drink: 2035+. Score – 94. (Allen Meadows, burghound.com, Jan. 10, 2023)
