Chambolle-Musigny, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
My continued quest to try as many 2022 Burgundies as possible.
This leans into 93 with a 92.5.
Nose of bright mid fruits with a core of dark, cherry hard candy, red licorice, baking soda with beautiful red florals.
The body is somewhat thicker than the previous two. Dark cherries, poached strawberries, blackberries, light black raspberries with some blueberry hues. Dry, fine top soil, barrel shaving dust, dry, fine tannins. Dark rich earth with dry leaves, dry twig, sagebrush, mid berry cola, light baking spices, soft dark spice, dry pipe tobacco, limestone dust, dry river stone, bright candied red, dark florals, rainfall acidy with a juicy, well balanced, elegant finish that lasts 90 seconds.
10 plus years of cellaring with add additional point or two. Maybe, three?

Super young and tight. The last sip was the best. Classically reductive style. Given some time, should be a gem. Sous Bois, cherry. Great grip and mouthfeel.
