there is a crisp quality to the plums along with alternating sweet and tart fruits in the finish

blackcurrant

This is both firmly reduced and still displaying residual malolactic hints

Benjamin Leroux, Mazoyeres Chambertin Vintage:2012 there is a crisp quality(35% whole clusters). A very toasty and menthol infused nose offers up plenty of sauvage and earth elements on the mostly wild dark currant scents. The rich, round and velvet textured flavors possess good midpalate density though the finish is overtly woody. While this may eventually eat most of its wood, its not completely clear that it will ever successfully integrate all of it. (91 93) 2028+
