The score for 2018 Domaine Ponsot Clos de la Roche Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru is 95+ from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Ponsot's 2018 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru Cuvée Vieilles Vignes was only bottled in July 2020, and its extended élevage has really refined the wine. Opening in the glass with aromas of dark berries, cherries and plums mingled with dark chocolate, preserved citrus peel, woodsmoke and spices, it's full-bodied, concentrated and powerful, with real depth and mid-palate amplitude, its rich, powdery tannins largely concealed in a generous core of fruit. This is a muscular wine somewhat reminiscent of a more gourmand version of the domaine's 2005, and it will demand patience. Additional scores for the wine in this lot - BurgHound.com 97 points , Tim Atkin, MW 97 points , Decanter 97 points , The Wine Advocate 95 points .
