- Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune 2018, 88/100, James Suckling
A simple red with plum and orange-peel aromas and flavors. Medium body. Drink now.

The nose features the essence of various red berries, earth and a whiff of spice. There is better verve to the nicely detailed and lightly stony middle weight flavors that offer depth and persistence on the firm saline-inflected finale.
