Albert Bichot, Chambolle Musigny Chabiots other_regions_italy dark fruit with top notes

dark fruit with top notes of tobacco leaf

it doesn t quite have the level of fleshiness and depth that is found in so many wines from Bolgheri in 2006

crystallized honey

This vintage is especially sophisticated and fine

Forget it for another decade and drink it over the following 25-30 years

Albert Bichot, Chambolle Musigny Chabiots other_regions_italy dark fruit with top notesA brooding and inexpressive nose mixes notes of red pinot fruit with a lovely array of spice and floral elements, in particular violets. There is a wonderfully refined mouth feel to the seductively textured medium bodied flavors that are finer but less obviously mineral inflected than the Sentiers on the impressively persistent finish. This is very Chambollesque in style and should drink well young as well as reward 8 to 10 years of cellaring. (90 93)
