Bursting with aromas of raspberries, plums and dark chocolate, the 2018 Mercurey La Framboisière is medium to full-bodied, deep and fleshy, with a generous core of fruit and an unusually muscular chassis of rich, powdery tannin by the standards of this routinely ethereal cuvée. It has turned out well, but it will benefit from a year or two of bottle age.
