Nicolas Potel, Chambertin other_regions_australia Note that this is evolving

Note that this is evolving glacially and I have extended my suggested drinking window by several years

(from 5 separate parcels in both Chambertin and Clos de Bèze

My impression is that the Costa Russi and Conteisa are the most likely of these 2007s to offer the widest drinking windows throughout their lives with a minimum of cellaring

dusty and beautifully long finish

This is the first year with puncheons (no hogsheads) as well

Nicolas Potel, Chambertin other_regions_australia Note that this is evolvingVery generous wood presently dominates the nose, indeed to the point that I question whether there is enough mid palate sap to absorb it successfully. To be sure, this is no shrinking violet with big, rich and powerful flavors that really coat the mouth with both sap and tannins but this potentially risks drying out with time in bottle. A question mark for me. (90 93?) 2016+
