2006 Camille Giroud Chambertin Grand Cru

(a blend of purchased fruit and wine) Deep ruby-red, the darkest wine in the cellar. Deep, brooding aromas of black plum, minerals and game. Broad, lush and mouthfilling; fine-grained and pliant. This boasts excellent sweetness to its flavors of dark cherry and smoked meat. Plenty of extract and soil character here. Finishes with broad, building tannins and impressive lingering sweetness.
