Moderately prominent wood sets off subtle spice notes on to the ripe, pure and densely fruited nose of dark cherry, cassis and floral-suffused aromas that are liberally sprinkled with earth nuances. The detailed and intensely stony middle weight plus flavors are shaped by notably firm but fine tannins on the notably more complex and longer if more austere finish. Like most quality examples of Chambertin, this is going to require extended patience.
