Philippe Charlopin-Parizot, Charmes Chambertin other_regions_italy dry and borderline strict finish

dry and borderline strict finish that is quite linear today

A much spicier mix features notes of both red and dark pinot fruit

I would not be surprised if this is a less than perfect example

(from a blend of fruit that includes parcels of villages vines in En la Barre

Zind-Humbrecht’s 2008 Gewurztraminer Hengst is still an ennobled sweet wine

Philippe Charlopin-Parizot, Charmes Chambertin other_regions_italy dry and borderline strict finish(from a 50 50 split of Charmes and Mazoyres). This too is pungently reduced. Much more interesting are the dense, delicious and vibrant flavors that possess both fine concentration and power while displaying a lovely underlying tension on the lingering finish that isnt quite as complex as the Clos de Vougeot, at least not yet though that may well change with bottle age.
