2016 Charmes Chambertin, Domaine des Varoilles

This dry red wine has deep ruby colour. On nose it has pronounced level aromas of red plum, cedar, dried rose, pine wood, mint, and strawberry jam. Medium alcohol and acidity with quite full bodied and medium fine grained and ripe tannin. Over medium intensity flavours of red plum, red cherry, licorice and touch of earth. Fairly long length with red plum finish. (92) Good nose but needs better complexity on palate

酒香誇啦啦的一支酒，酒力不論在香氣及口中都很強勁，餘韻亦都算長，只是酒味在口中的複雜性下降了不少，否則會是一支很出色的酒品，好喝，相信年份幫助了不少。

而這個年份來說，很難得。雖然酒的整體表現比較簡單，但口感順滑，味道與酒體的平衡很好，複雜性並沒有太多，果味足，反而做出一支簡單得來很四正的酒。喝得很舒服，是我試過這個年份最好飲的村酒之一
