Domaine Bouchard Père & Fils Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru 2009

Strong reduction blocks the nose though there is plenty of energy and punch to the detailed, powerful and lightly mineral-driven flavors that possess both good size and solid weight, especially on the vibrant, balanced and seriously persistent finish. There is fine depth of material here and while this is somewhat awkward today, I see no reason why this shouldn't be excellent in time. Drink: 2024+. Score - 91-94.
