Effusive spice and cherry flavors are woven into the silky texture in this vivid red. Shows a solid structure, boding well for future development. Fine balance and a lingering aftertaste suggest herb and vegetal accents. Best from 2020 through 2035. — B.S.

Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, Groffier's 2014 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru les Hauts Doix is much more pure on the nose compared to the Les Groseilles from Digioia-Royer, sporting lifted red cherries, wild strawberry and raspberry preserves—vigorous and very focused. The palate is pure and sensual on the entry, the acidity very well judged, with a caressing and long finish laden with black fruit. It needs another couple of years to absorb the oak, but it will be worth the wait. Tasted September 2017. - Neal Martin
