An evocative mix of red

Tortochot, Charmes Chambertin Vintage:2018 19% Cabernet Franc(100% from . 57 ha parcel in Charmes proper). Initially there was a touch of reduction so be sure to decant this. With a few minutes of air pretty aromas of complex and cool red pinot fruit, earth and a hint of humus give way to equally earthy medium weight flavors that possess good volume and a fine muscularity, all wrapped in a very firm but not aggressive finish. This understated effort should be lovely in a few years. 91 2016+
