Benjamin Leroux, Mazoyeres Chambertin Vintage:2012 This is both firmly reduced

This is both firmly reduced and still displaying residual malolactic hints

pure and ultra-complex nose features aromas of red currant

it reminds me a bit of the 2008

the Cerise appears to be a little less polished than the Demuth

and both sites have vines that range from 40 to 50 years in age

Benjamin Leroux, Mazoyeres Chambertin Vintage:2012 This is both firmly reduced(35% whole clusters). A very toasty and menthol infused nose offers up plenty of sauvage and earth elements on the mostly wild dark currant scents. The rich, round and velvet textured flavors possess good midpalate density though the finish is overtly woody. While this may eventually eat most of its wood, its not completely clear that it will ever successfully integrate all of it. (91 93) 2028+
