Domaine Joseph Roty 2019 Charmes Chambertin "Tres VV" 750ml

The 2018 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Très Vieilles Vignes has turned out brilliantly, unfurling in the glass with scents of cherries, raspberries, licorice, orange rind, rich soil tones, woodsmoke and toasty new oak. Full-bodied, velvety and layered, it's elegantly muscular, with huge depth and concentration, powdery structuring tannin and a long, penetrating finish. This is a prodigious wine, built for the long haul, and it will demand patience to fulfill all its potential.
