Chambertin Clos de Bèze, Henri Boillot 2015

A deft but not invisible touch of wood frames overtly spicy and notably ripe purple fruit, in particular plum, together with notes of tea, violet and anise. The succulent yet imposingly scaled big-bodied flavors possess seemingly endless reserves of palate coating dry extract and this is a good thing as the supporting tannic spine is notably firm on the driving finish where the wood resurfaces. While this is actually sufficiently forward that it could be enjoyed young, I would strongly advise treating this as a "buy and forget you own it" wine as the upside potential is remarkable.
