Philippe le Hardi Chambolle Musigny Les Athets 2023

Deep ruby towards royal purple, with on the slightly ethereal nose, dried flowers, crushed ripe strawberries and raspberries, black cherries, wild blueberries, anis, smoke, and tea leaves. Medium, perhaps medium to full-bodied, with good intensity. On the palate, notes of juicy ripe red berries, red currants, and pomegranate seeds, black licorice, followed on the mid-palate by earthy, mineral, and saline notes of dirt and crushed rocks, followed by subtle notes of black truffle, orange peel, with medium-plus acidity and searing tannins elegantly draping the mouth with more saline and earthy notes rising on the long, elegant and mouth-filling finish.
