It needs more vigour

palate coating and serious finish that exhibits excellent persistence

dusty and beautifully long finish

mostly from old vines

There is outstanding richness to the big-bodied and overtly powerful flavors that possess a suave mouth feel before culminating in a firm and persistent if slightly leafy finish

Nicolas Potel, Chambertin other_regions_australia It needs more vigourVery generous wood presently dominates the nose, indeed to the point that I question whether there is enough mid palate sap to absorb it successfully. To be sure, this is no shrinking violet with big, rich and powerful flavors that really coat the mouth with both sap and tannins but this potentially risks drying out with time in bottle. A question mark for me. (90 93?) 2016+
