linear and mildly drying finish

The 2004 Brut Cristal has put on quite a bit of weight since I first tasted it earlier this year

It just feels a bit foursquare toward the finish

This has just gained a little complexity in recent months

Ghislaine Barthod, Chambolle Musigny Charmes Size:6x750ml linear and mildly drying finish(from a . 25 ha parcel). A more restrained nose grudgingly reveals the essence of plum where additional breadth is present in the form of black raspberry and violet scents. The palate impression provides an interesting contrast as it is at once caressing and lilting yet powerful and concentrated, all wrapped in a dusty finish where a refreshing salinity arises. This is gorgeous.
