2016 Gevrey Chambertin Clos Prieur

Once again the wood treatment isn't subtle and here it's to the point that it fights somewhat with the otherwise beautifully layered aromas of various dark berry, freshly turned earth, humus and a pretty floral note. The texture of the attractively vibrant and detailed flavors is finer still while offering even better concentration on the lingering and mineral-inflected finish where the wood shows up again. This is promising and of very good quality but it's definitely carrying more wood than it usually does. *Outstanding*
