Robert Arnoux Chambolle Musigny 2005

Many occasions lend themselves to opening a bottle of Delamotte brut - agenerous champagne

with sweet melted tannins nicely integrated

jammy noses of cassis fruit

We'll see in time though as it's usually the Chambertin that goes into a shell only to emerge 20+ years later

high tannins

This terrific effort is very clearly built-to-age and I wouldn't dream of touching a bottle for at least 10 years and it should easily reward 20

jammy aromas intermingled with scents of minerals and licorice

There are sweet cherry aromas

resinous element that will surely surface over the next decade or so

serious and moderately austere finale

This isn't quite as floral as the Amoureuses but it's even spicier with its purple fruit

Lovely and understated
