something that one doesn’t see often

Ghislaine Barthod, Chambolle-Musigny Les Noirots other_regions_australia juniper and violet(from a . 14 ha parcel). Once again firm reduction flattens the underlying fruit at present. Otherwise there is impressive volume and power to the broad shouldered flavors that possess a velvety mid palate that contrasts considerably with the robust and borderline rustic finale that is supported by very firm tannins. This offers fine development potential but its not likely to make for especially interesting early drinking.
