Ruchottes Chambertin Grand Cru 2017

A reserved but exceptionally pretty nose combines airy notes of spicy red currant, lavender, violet and a touch of damp earth. The almost painfully intense medium weight plus flavors possess evident muscle and minerality before culminating in a moderately austere, serious and firmly structured finale. This is presently a compact block and I would strongly recommend not touching a bottle before this reaches at least its 10th birthday. In short, this is very impressive but it's also very backward.
