Chambolle Musigny Les Veroilles, Domaine Ghislaine Barthod 2005

Deep ruby. Here the notably ripe nose is much more discreet if every bit as elegant with upper register aromas of red, black and blue fruits tinged with hints of violets and wet stone that dissolve into textured, dusty and beautifully precise flavors that are long and linear. This too seems to be built on a base of minerality, indeed at present it seems almost aggressively so and the transparency is perhaps the best of the entire range as is the complexity though ultimately, I think the Les Cras will catch it. Either way, this is an exceptionally impressive effort.
