Blagny La Piece Sous le Bois Matrot 2018 (750ML)

92 Points, William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2018 Blagny 1er Cru La Pièce Sous Le Bois is promising, unfurling in the glass to reveal notes of cherries, berries, warm spices and forest floor. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and elegantly layered, with refined tannins, a lively spine of acidity and a long, mineral finish." 2/20

89-92 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound: "A discreet but not invisible application of wood and menthol merge with the liqueur-like essence of red cherry and softly spiced aromas. There is good size, weight and richness to the attractively mineral-inflected middle weight flavors that possess a very suave, even velvety mouthfeel that continues onto the lingering and slightly more complex finish where the wood telegraphed by the nose reappears. Note that this is also sufficiently firm to require at least a decade to completely resolve the supporting tannins." 4/20
