Le Dôme, St Emilion Grand Cru 2018 6x75cl

(93-95) Points, Neal Martin, 2023-2040 Vinous The 2018 Le Dôme has a backward bouquet of blackberry, boysenberry and pressed iris scents; with further aeration, orange blossom and light menthol aromas emerge. The palate is full-bodied with plush, rounded tannins. This is, perhaps surprisingly, more approachable than its sibling Vieux Château Mazeret, although with time it begins to close up, so that the finish is rendered robust after 10 minutes.
