Clos Saint Denis Grand Cru 2017The very pretty nose is quite cool and restrained with its broad ranging panoply of aromas that include red cherry, violet, lavender and a hint of wood spice. There is very fine volume to the refined, intense and gorgeously textured flavors that possess much better overall depth and lovely persistence. This is a CSD of finesse but make no mistake, it has the underlying material and balance to age for years. Country Region: France, Burgundy Grape

Good stuff here and while firm

Robert Parker: 94-96/100

The tannins are present

Raised entirely in new oak

A more deeply pitched and definitely more sauvage-inflected dark berry fruit nose is also quite floral in character

youthfully austere and palate staining on the long and almost painfully intense finish that avoids rusticity

The notably more refined if less powerful flavors are supported by markedly fined-grained tannins on the lightly stony

This is also quite aromatically pretty with its fresh and bright combination of plum

firm and well-balanced finale
