Joseph Drouhin, Chambertin Clos De Beze Vintage:2016 (aged in new oak barriques(50% whole clusters). An attractively spicy and notably ripe if markedly reserved nose offers up notes of plum, cassis and red currant that are copiously laced with floral nuances. The rich, full bodied and quite serious broad shouldered flavors also possess first rate mid palate concentration along with evident minerality on the driving and powerful if less refined finish. This is certainly impressive but the Griotte has that something extra in 2015.
