Griotte Chambertin, Domaine Joseph Roty 2016

Tasting Notes

Copious wood toast fights with the slighter redder fruit profile that is laced with spice and floral scents along with hints of earth and humus. The medium-bodied flavors are also admirably concentrated and refined if a bit less powerful while delivering good length on the precise and reasonably well=balanced finish though the wood does resurface. This mocha-inflected effort is delicious but it doesn't have quite the same energy as the Mazis and the Charmes. In sum, this is very good but doesn't appear to be at its usual outstanding level.
