Elegant and expressive, offering rose, cherry, currant, mineral and spice notes. Vibrant, matching nicely with the silky texture, showing good grip on the lingering finish. The aftertaste puts this on another level. Best from 2019 through 2033. - BS

(WA93-95 points) The 2014 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses, from 80-year-old vines, includes 50% whole bunch fruit and is matured in 50% new oak. It is interesting to compare this with the Bonnes-Mares; this is perhaps more serious, a little more saturnine (which is unusual for this vineyard), with touches of cold flint tincturing the blackberry and blueberry aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, but there is real solidity here, the acidity well judged with a gentle grip on the saline finish. It clearly needs several years in bottle but it will be worth the wait. - Neal Martin
