Jean-Marie Fourrier, Chambolle Musigny Aux Echanges Vv Vintage:2012 The 1997 Brunello di MontalcinoA fresh but restrained nose is completely different as its less spicy and more floral with lovely and airy notes of both red and dark currant scents. There is good delineation to the vibrant middle weight flavors that exude a fine minerality on the firm, balanced and lingering finish. This does not yet possess superior complexity but my predicted range assumes that it will develop based on the quality of the underlying material. (89 92) 2021+
