Ghislaine Barthod, Chambolle Musigny Baudes Vintage:2020 spice-tinged dark berries and pungent

spice-tinged dark berries and pungent flowers are sharpened by sneaky mineral and spice flourishes

There is superb complexity and fantastic length and this mineral-driven effort should be capable of drinking well after only 12 years or so of bottle age but require a solid 20 before it’s completely mature

intense and serious broad-shouldered flavors possess excellent mid-palate concentration with ample amounts of dry extract that partially buffers the chewy and ripe tannins on the long and less austere than usual finish

opulent and very rich larger-scaled flavors that coat the palate with dry extract that helps to buffer the powerful and almost tannic finish

Ghislaine Barthod, Chambolle Musigny Baudes Vintage:2020 spice-tinged dark berries and pungent(from a . 23 ha parcel of 45+ year old vines). This is one of the ripest wines in the range yet it somehow manages to remain fresh with its violet, dark cherry and plum liqueur like aromas. The mouth feel of the middle weight plus flavors is bold and powerful with plenty of mid palate concentration and muscle that is enhanced by the firm tannins and huge length. This is a classic Baudes of power and punch if not necessarily refinement. (90 93) 2025+
