clove and sandalwood

This concentrated effort is very Chambolle in basic character

quite tight at first with dried honey

Mild reduction pushes the underlying fruit to the background but I doubt that it will persist

Philippe Charlopin-Parizot, Mazis Chambertin other_regions clove and sandalwood(from Mazis Hauts). This arguably possesses the most complex nose in the range with its intensely floral aromas of various dark berries, earth, sauvage and an interesting hint of tangerine peel. The broad shouldered, powerful and concentrated flavors are saline to the point of being almost salty before culminating in a wonderfully long, balanced and compact finale. This is a wine to buy and forget you own for at least a decade. In a word, excellent.
