(Armand Rousseau Chambertin) Closed but whoahhhhhhh. Some serious material here. I did not drink this wine . . . .it drank me. What power. Complex nose of red cherries, spice, animal, minerals. Incredible nuance in the nose. The nose has delineation. Monstrous on the palate with huge concentration but then has so many layers on the unfolding finish. Long and dense but revealing 1/40 th of what it has to offer. I would sit on this for at least 20 years.
