Very long and quite persistent

but that does not necessarily mean that it is the first of the vineyards to be harvested

Spicy and focused on the palate

I suspect that the mildly chunky tannins will eventually give way to something more reflective of the natural refinement of a classic RSV

Louis Jadot, Charmes Chambertin Vintage:2012 Very long and quite persistent(from Charmes proper). Again, moderate but not invisible wood and menthol suffuse the ripe yet cool aromas of black cherry, violet and earth. The supple, round and caressing middle weight flavors offer good length and a certain class though not nearly the same complexity as the CSJ. In sum, this is prettier than it is deep.
