A brooding and reticent nose grudgingly offers up its array of ripe but cool wild black berries and forest floor that is trimmed in hints of wood and menthol

Supple and appealingly sweet

Benjamin Leroux, Mazoyeres Chambertin Vintage:2011 A brooding and reticent nose(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+
