Note di degustazione
The 2018 Chambertin Grand Cru is initially understated on the nose, unfolding with brambly red fruit, undergrowth and just a light touch of morels. Very succinct with a kind of broody intensity - but maybe a touch of Brettanomyces? The palate is well balanced with a note of sour cherry and wild strawberry on the entry. Fine precision, moderate depth, though it is not the most profound Chambertin this year. Lovely edginess on the elegant finish, give this 4-5 years in bottle. Excellent. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.

There is just a medium depth of purple to the colour, but what a glorious nose! This really has it all without undue power. There is a correct veneer of new oak, and all the nuance that you could possibly want. The faintest flicker of a reductive note emerges, but the fruit is so exquisite that assuming the issue is just a temporary touch of reduction, we can look forward to something magical later on. The aftertaste is really lovely. Drink from 2032.
An overtly floral essence of wild red berries, herbal tea and spice elements introduce the very intense, sleek and markedly stony broad-shouldered flavors that possess a really lovely texture on the better balanced finish. This too will need to add depth to achieve the upper end of my predicted range.
