Clos Saint Denis, Domaine Dujac 2022

A beautifully spicy nose exhibits aromas of plum, dark cherry, sandalwood and a hint of Asian-style tea along with a wonderful array of floral elements. Here too the middleweight flavors possess a wonderfully refined texture though there is no lack of punch or minerality on the dusty, youthfully austere, compact and very much built-to-age finale. This is very classy but it's also quite serious so be prepared to cellar it accordingly. Drink: 2037+

The 2022 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru is beautiful, wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet red berries, cherries, blood orange, rose petals and spices. Full-bodied, supple and suave, with a multidimensional core of cool, pure fruit, it's seamless and velvety, with lively acids and a long, saline finish.
