Note di degustazione
The 2012 Chambolle Musigny Village has a pretty raspberry and wild strawberry-scented bouquet with plenty of sous-bois character mixed with bergamot. The palate is surprisingly structured with very good density and salinity. Backward and broody, this deserves five or six years in bottle. This is at the top of my expectations divined in barrel.

Good full red. Mellow perfume of red fruits and spices. Round, ripe and seamless, showing lovely early sweetness and a sensual texture leavened by sappy energy. Raspberry and ripe cherry flavors are a bit youthfully reticent but carry well on the juicy, sedate finish. This is more graceful in bottle than it was from barrel in the fall of 2013.
(this wine had just been racked for the second time): Bright dark red. Aromas of dark raspberry and dark chocolate, with a whiff of menthol; smells tannic. The mid-palate offers surprising acidity but the rather restrained fruit shows a slightly bitter torrefaction quality today. I find this almost heavy. Finishes with serious tannins.
The 2012 Chambolle-Musigny is surprisingly light and ethereal at this stage. Then again, I have seen the Chambolle acquire depth with time in the bottle, so it will be interesting to see what the next year or two brings. Rose petals, violets and sweet red cherries all lift out of the glass in a feminine, gracious Burgundy.
