Chambolle-Musigny, Les Cras, 1er Cru, Barthod

Note:

A broad-ranging, fresh and once again airy nose reluctantly reveals notes of cherry, raspberry, pomegranate, rose petal and soft spice and sandalwood nuances. The strikingly elegant and refined medium-bodied flavors seem to be built on a base of minerality before terminating in a wonderfully intense, saline and focused finale that delivers flat out stunning length. This moderately austere effort is very clearly built-to-age and it would be completely pointless to open a bottle before at least a decade has passed.
