Moderate wood sets off the ripe and fresh if restrained aromas of soft earth

the 2016 is even more reticent than it was last year at this time

Tortochot, Gevrey Chambertin Champeaux other_regions This is the first wine(from a . 81 ha parcel of 40+ year old vines). A slightly more expressive and more elegant nose features more floral and less earth influence on the pretty dark currant scented aromas. There is a noticeably finer if less muscular mouthfeel to the equally mineral inflected medium weight flavors that retain a lovely sense of energy on the well delineated and again, youthfully austere finish. This is also quite restrained but a bit less structured. 91
