Domaine Dominique Gallois Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2011

A moderate application of wood surrounds very fresh, airy and restrained aromas of red currant, kirsch and plenty of earth influence. There is good verve to the broad-shouldered and muscular flavors that possess plenty of that beguiling quality of underlying tension, all wrapped in a very firm, dusty and strikingly long finish. Very fine quality in a balanced and relatively tight package. Drink: 2021+. Score - 93. (Allen Meadows, burghound.com, Jan. 15, 2014)
