the 1982 Gruaud Larose remains a youngster

Laurent Ponsot Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru Cuvee du Frene 2016 Volume:750ML the 1982 Gruaud Larose remainsAn appealingly airy and wonderfully spicy nose reflects the cool and elegant essence of red currant and plenty of floral elements that include violet lavender and an interesting hint of acacia. The strikingly sleek yet imposingly sized flavors possess perhaps the best delineation of any wine in the range while delivering excellent length on the refined focused and beautifully persistent finale. This classy effort should amply reward extended cellaring.
