2014 Griotte Chambertin

The 2014 Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru has a tightly wound bouquet with hints of raspberry coulis and violet, light for a Griotte, but demonstrating clarity and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, well-pitched acidity, linear at first, but gently fanning out towards the tender finish with a sustained saline aftertaste. It has not quite evolved the exuberance of a Griotte-Chambertin yet, however, there is impressive tension and intensity all the way through. Apr 2016, www.robertparker.com
