Bichot/Albert Chambolle-Musigny 1er cru Amoureuses 2018

95 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): “[$579 list] This red features great purity to its rose, strawberry and cherry flavors. Spicy oak and mineral add depth, yet this is all about finesse and an ethereal quality that’s distinctive. It’s balanced, with bright acidity and firm, dusty tannins on the finish that are yet to be resolved. Best from 2022 through 2043. 150 cases made, 31 cases imported. (12/31/20)”

93 points/’Outstanding,’ Allen Meadows (Burghound): “A markedly spicy and slightly more elegant nose is both quite pretty and floral in character with just a touch of wood toast to the mostly red currant-scented aromas. The ultra-refined, sleek and lacy middle weight flavors that possess a velvety mouthfeel that contrasts with the firm and youthfully austere finally that is very well balanced. This lovely effort should amply reward medium to even longer-term patience. Drink: 2033+. (Jan 2021)”
