Arnaud Mortet, Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvee de Tres Vieilles Vignes Vintage:2020 five-spice powder and lavender pastille(from En Champs, Combe de Dessus and Aux Echzeaux that contain vines up to 120 years old). Subtle but not imperceptible wood frames super fresh red berry scents that are trimmed in notes of underbrush and newly turned earth along with sauvage hints. There is excellent volume to the dense medium bodied flavors as the old vines are in evidence, all wrapped in a powerful, focused, complex and impressively long finish. This very firmly structured effort
