Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru (0.75 L)

(typically made from 6 or 7 different 1ers depending on whether the fruit from the parcel of Les Baudes is included). Ultra-spicy, cool and dazzlingly pure aromas flash notes of red and dark raspberry, rose petal and violet along with a vague hint of exotic tea. There is fine density and even better refinement to the delicate but punchy flavors that are akin to rolling small stones around in the mouth on the beautifully long finale. This compact yet elegant effort should age gracefully for out to 15 years and I would be inclined to allow it at least 7 to 8. In a word, excellent. 93/2031+
