2020 Domaine du Comte Liger Belair, La Romanee Grand Cru 1x750ml

Vinous 98

The 2020 La Romanée Grand Cru showed a little reduction on the entry. This takes time to unfurl on the nose, luscious black cherries, blueberry, pressed violet and orange blossom. There is a sensuality here that I think distinguishes it from its famous adjacent fellow monopole. The palate is medium-bodied is very well balanced with firm backbone. Dense and imbued with a precise silver thread of acidity, this La Romanée comes armed with a sense of symmetry towards the finish with a long, slightly peppery aftertaste. Regal.
