Joseph Roty Charmes-Chambertin Tres Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru 2004 (1.5L)

93 BH

Tasting note: A touch of bricking is present that is confirmed by the moderately secondary-infused nose that offers solid complexity and spice while displaying no "green meanies" though there is a hint of herbal tea. The attractively textured medium-bodied flavors possess the same fine complexity as the nose, all wrapped in a delicious, long and balanced finale. This is an excellent 2004 that has, to my taste, arrived at its peak though note that the '04 TVV should have no difficulty holding for another decade in magnum format. Allen medows – Burghound
