Laurent Ponsot Cuvée du Noyer Beaune 1er Cru 2020

More elegant aromas include those of essence of ripe red cherry, anise and a pretty floral top note. The generous medium-bodied flavors possess an appealing texture that carries over to the vibrant, youthfully austere, balanced and lingering finale. This too is lovely and worth a look as well. Drink: 2027+. Outstanding. Score – 91. (Allen Meadows, burghound.com, Jan. 10, 2023)
