richness and concentration

with its hints of herbs

underbrush and a touch of the sauvage that continues onto the supple

the wine is deep

and spicy new oak

Armand Rousseau, Ruchottes Chambertin Clos Ruchottes Vintage:2007 richness and concentration(20% new wood). A discreet touch of wood frames mildly reduced aromas such that I would strongly advise decanting this if youre going to sacrifice a bottle in the interest of science. There is outstanding delineation and intensity to the refined and pure medium bodied flavors that are shaped by deceptively pliant tannins on the saline inflected finish that seems to be constructed from liquid stone, all wrapped in a wonderfully long and pure finish.
