Aromas of strawberries, cherries, spices and mint introduce the 2016 Beaune 1er Cru Clos du Roi, a medium to full-bodied wine with supple tannins, a fleshy core of succulent fruit and a youthfully chewy finish that's a touch austere, depressing my score a little. While this can't match the depth or completeness of the Clos des Fèves, it's a creditable effort.
