Light ruby in color. On the nose, smells of mellowed strawberry and raspberry, with just a hint of pencil shavings and some toasted oak. The light color belies the intensity of the wine. When it touches the palate, the taste of red fruits come to the fore. The tanins are very fine. Sure enough, the minerality comes through after the taste of fruit fades, and it lingers on for about half a minute. This 2012 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Cras from Meo-Camuzet has the right balance between intensity and elegance. Very enjoyable to drink now.
