90+ The 2020 Gevrey villages from Philippe Harmand is really strong this year. The wine delivers a vibrant aromatic constellation of sappy black cherries and dark berries, grilled meats, dark chocolate, woodsmoke, a fine...

There is just enough wood to merit mentioning framing the ripe and spicy nose of cassis, wild dark berries, plum, humus and a whiff of the sauvage. The supple, round and delicious slightly bigger-bodied flavors possess...

The 2020 Mazis-Chambertin from Domaine Harmand-Geoffroy is another simply great bottle in the making. The bouquet is deep, pure, precise and sappy, wafting from the glass in a mix of cassis, sweet blackberries, espresso...

Lush, forward black cherry fruit and hints of rose petals. On the palate, there is a sucrosity typical of Charmes and less alcohol than in 2019. Despite its approachable nature, this is not lacking in structure and should...

(92-95 points) This too is exuberantly spicy with its range of clove, anise, hoisin and floral nuances, particularly violet and rose petal. The delicious, suave and very rounded medium-bodied flavors exhibit impressive...

(91-93 points) The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Poisets is the sophomore release and was planted in the mid-Thirties. This is one cuvee where I felt there were signs of over-ripeness on the nose, a touch smudged compared...

(94-97 points) 13.5% and some whole bunches to assist the freshness further. Medium crimson purple. There is a grace and elegance to this wine that sits well with Echezeaux and also with my palate. A really exciting...
