2021 Kei Shiogai Charmes-Chambertin
Tasted double blind. Clear, deep ruby-garnet color. Fine, deep, fruity and spicy nose with a touch of fines vanilla. Really seductive!
Unfortunately the palate could not hold what the nose promised. Dark cacao, herbaceous, dense. High, lively acidity but also drying tannin that makes it a bit unpleasant. Do to the lack of tannin quality I doubt that it gets much better. Was shocked to see the price point later on. No way ... 88-90
