Score 92-94/100 · Allen Meadows, Burghound

(from a .85 ha parcel). Fresh aromas of black raspberry, cherry, cassis and a hint of the exotic complement perfectly the ripe yet cool and ultra-intense mineral-driven flavors that possess a borderline pungent salinity while delivering outstanding depth and length on the beautifully well-balanced finale. This is a bit less youthfully austere than usual but it’s still definitely built-to-age and is going to need at least 7 to 8 years first. Terrific. Dec 2016, www.burghound.com

The 2015 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru les Cras, which has just a tiny reduction, has a very pure, mulberry and raspberry preserve-scented bouquet, quite intense with fine mineralite, perhaps not quite as detailed as the Veroilles. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, a mixture of red and black fruit, just a suggestion of cassis, all with superb salinity and a silver bead of acidity. Lovely length in the mouth, this is a sensual Le Cras destined to give two decades of drinking pleasure. Dec 2016, www.robertparker.com
