Coudert's brilliant 2018 Fleurie Cuv?e Tardive offers up a deep and incipiently complex bouquet. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, deep and layered, with an abundance of rich and powdery structuring tannins, ripe but lively acids and a long, lingering finish. While this is built for the long haul?its name alluding to the aging potential of this old-vine cuv?e, not to a later harvest?its enveloping profile and perfectly mature phenolics will make it unusually approachable in its youth.
