This is also gorgeously spicy with ripe and very fresh black cherry, red currant and sandalwood aromas. There is superb intensity to the overtly mineral-driven and beautifully delineated middle weight flavors that are shaped by a very firm but not hard tannic spine as there is good phenolic maturity here. I very much like the balance of the long and quite serious finale that is an exercise in harmony, indeed this could aptly be described as quite Zen-like. In a word, brilliant. Drink 2027+.

The 2012 Chambolle-Musigny Amoureuses is dark, powerful and intense, almost uncharacteristically so. This is a decidedly intense, concentrated Amoureuses with tons of depth and fewer of the feminine, sensual notes that are so typical of this site. Today, the 2012 is a bit of a brute. It will be interesting to see if time brings with it a dimension of finesse that is missing at this stage.

Very dark crimson. Very rich and gorgeous on the nose. Such a fabulous blend of intensity and richness. Yet there is freshness too. Really lovely. Neat and appealing.
