A distinctly cool and restrained nose features reticent wonderfully spiced notes of various dark berries along with forest floor nuances that include humus and earth. The intensity of the imposing broad-shouldered and muscular flavors is borderline painful with impressive power on the hugely long finish that is supported by dense but quite fine-grained tannins. This is magnificent and a wine of class and grace that will justly vie for wine of the vintage honors.
The 2020 Chambertin Grand Cru has a touch of reduction but that soon dissipates to reveal intense black and red fruit, half and half really, crushed rock (sea cave), a very subtle marine influence that develops with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, taut and fresh, closing in a little on the finish although I think that is due to the coolness creeping in within the cellar. This is already imbued with a tantalizing sense of magnificence - but would you expect anything less?
Brilliant, unwinding in the glass with aromas of wild berries, orange rind, plums, exotic spices, Egyptian musk, woodsmoke and rose petals. Full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, it's deep and tightly wound, with striking intensity and energy.
