Chambertin, Domaine Perrot-Minot 2016

This is aromatically quite similar to the Clos de Bèze except that there are few spice elements but more floral character. The powerful, muscular and almost painfully intense broad-bodied flavors possess a copious amount of dry extract that coats the palate while partially buffering the markedly firm tannins on the super saline and mineral-driven finish that is perhaps even long. This is presently a solid block of material that will require at least a decade to be approachable and two of them before this will fully peak but even so, if you've got the patience this should be a really special wine in time. (Drink starting 2036)

Rich concentrated deep purple. Majestic substance on the nose too. Exceptional intensity here, fills the mouth in every way, glowing dark red and black fruits, some tannins first, then just enough acidity. Worthy of’ Le Roi’ Chambertin, with an optimum ripeness of fruit.
