2016 Charmes Chambertin

Moderately saturated medium red. Doesn't show quite the lift of the Goulots or Cazetiers on the nose, offering deeper-pitched aromas of red fruits, earth and licorice. Then surprisingly sappy in the mouth, with its red fruit flavors complicated by exotic spices and lifted by a floral element. This wine struck me as a bit less primary than the Cazetiers and Goulots but it's lively nevertheless. A dry, classic style, from vines planted in the 1950s.
