Benjamin Leroux, Mazoyeres Chambertin Vintage:2012 blackcurrant

blackcurrant

it reminds me a bit of the 2008

and both sites have vines that range from 40 to 50 years in age

there is a crisp quality to the plums along with alternating sweet and tart fruits in the finish

Benjamin Leroux, Mazoyeres Chambertin Vintage:2012 blackcurrant(35% whole clusters). A very toasty and menthol infused nose offers up plenty of sauvage and earth elements on the mostly wild dark currant scents. The rich, round and velvet textured flavors possess good midpalate density though the finish is overtly woody. While this may eventually eat most of its wood, its not completely clear that it will ever successfully integrate all of it. (91 93) 2028+
