palate-staining cassis

An attractively spicy

sporadic rain showers that meant the grapes did not suffer drought stress

The 2018 Barolo Cerequio is lovely

but I was in business school

Camille Giroud, Charmes Chambertin Vintage:2020 palate-staining cassis(from Charmes proper). Here too the menthol character isnt subtle though neither is it especially invasive on the layered aromas of blue and red pinot fruit, spice and prominent earth and forest floor nuances. The rich, caressing and nicely dense medium bodied flavors possess a sleek muscularity while exhibiting focused power on the delicious, balanced and lingering finale. This will need to add depth to achieve the upper end of my predicted range.
