ultra-fine tannin and a lively

There is excellent intensity and power to the imposingly constructed medium weight plus flavors that are blessed with plenty of dry extract that renders the still firm tannic spine almost invisible on the impeccably well-balanced and palate staining finish

so that it ends on a high note

The mouthfeel is thickly woven and generous

Claude Dugat, Charmes Chambertin Vintage:2012 ultra-fine tannin and a lively(from a . 33 ha parcel of 40+ year old vines in Charmes proper). A fresh, pure and relatively hightoned nose of elegant red currant, soft spice, rose petal and an agreeably subtle hint of wood. The sense of refinement continues onto the equally pure and well detailed medium weight flavors that possess a caressing mouthfeel, all wrapped in a solidly complex and persistent finish that is firm but not so much so that this could not be approached young.
