Charmes Chambertin, Domaine Perrot Minot 2011 (OCC 6)

Description

By Burghound  in 2013 (BH95)

A notably earthier nose of red currant, wild dark berries and humus leads to impressively intense big-bodied flavors that possess excellent mid-palate concentration as well as outstanding depth and length on the moderately austere finish. This should be reasonably approachable young but be capable of extended cellaring to good effect.

By Wine Spectator in 2014 (WS94)

A compact, fresh style, exhibiting intense cherry, currant, sandalwood and toasty vanilla aromas and flavors. Firm and muscular, in a well-toned, elegant way. Shows fine length and equilibrium. Best from 2017 through 2028.

By Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar in 2014 (ST93)

Dark aromas of blueberry, licorice and bitter chocolate, plus a hint of crushed rock. Very concentrated and very ripe, with lovely seamless sweetness to the flavors of blackberry, blueberry and violet. Terrific texture and length here, with sweet tannins. From a Charmes parcel close to Rousseau’s Chambertin, notes Christophe Perrot-Minot.

By Jancis Robinson in 2013 (JR17/20)

Highest parcel of Charmes just on the other side of the road from Chambertin. Mid ruby. Low-key nose actually. Very assertive and solid. Lots of race and ambition. I fear this will be terribly expensive but it certainly is trying hard.
