Lucien Le Moine Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru La Romanee 2022

There is both good energy and a bit more refinement to the lightly stony medium weight plus flavors that evidence just a touch of tannic edginess on the lingering finish

youthfully austere and beautifully long finish

and blackcurrant flavors

spice and pure red and dark berries

Here the equally brooding nose is slightly more elegant with its cool and restrained nose of red currant

youthfully austere and very serious effort is very much built-to-age and is going to need at least half a dozen years to unwind and 20+ to reach its full potential

A trace of bricking is now in evidence

There is nothing garish about this subtle yet powerful giant of a wine

weight and mid-palate concentration that coats the palate with dry extract and enrobes the firm tannic spine to the point where it is more of a background element than usual

Here the wood and menthol influences are a good deal less subtle and while they don't dominate the even spicier and slightly riper liqueur-like cassis

blackberry fruit

serious and moderately austere finale
