Note di degustazione
Full red-ruby. Aromas of black cherry, licorice and violet are complicated by a distinct element of torrefaction. Densely packed and hugely concentrated, conveying outstanding energy and saline minerality to its remarkably sappy black cherry, dark berry, earth and floral flavors. A caramel note is probably due to the oaks (Roty uses Billon and Rousseau barrels here). Finishes extremely long, with saline and licorice notes. There's nothing hard about these tannins but this wine will nonetheless require a long time in the cellar to approach its peak.

Sweet, spicy nose. Very intense. Great polished tannins. Super-serious and bone dry. Tastes like essence of a wood-panelled room, somehow. (And I don’t mean wood panelling with TCA as in Middle Temple.) Very much for the patient. (JR)
Ruby-red. Deep, dark, brooding, Chambertin-like aromas and flavors of black raspberry, smoked meat, mocha and soil complicated by a balsamic quality. Pliant, round and utterly seamless, communicating an almost 3-D texture. Most impressive today on the extremely long, chewy finish, which shows a restrained sweetness, suave tannins and a complete absence of rough edges. Deceptively approachable today, this wine is routinely a very long ager.
The 2014 Charmes-Chambertin Très Vieilles Vignes has a very intense and powerful nose, almost raucous with ebullient kirsch, blueberry and blackberry notes that come storming from the glass. The palate is full-bodied and quite dense in the mouth. For me, the oak is not quite as embroidered into the fabric of the wine as the Griotte or the Mazis. This has more thrust at the moment with an intense spicy finish, with a dash of black pepper on the aftertaste. Hopefully it will just calm down a little by the time of bottling.
