Perrot-Minot Chambertin Grand Cru

2018

BH 93-95: In contrast to the exuberance of many of the wines, here the nose is all but mute and requires aggressive swirling to coax the timid aromas of softly spicy and decidedly cool aromas of red and black currant, humus-tinged earth and plenty of floral nuances. The racy, tight and almost painfully intense big-bodied and muscular flavors also exhibit an abundance of minerality that adds lift to the compact, linear and subtly persistent finish. This is presently a compact block and a wine that is likely to require at least a decade to become approachable and reward 20+ years.
