This is perfectly good but the effects of the hail are not invisible

Philippe Pacalet, Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Size:12x750ml and acacia flowers(from a blend of Sentiers and Feusselottes). Pretty and well layered aromas consist of plum, violet and spice elements. There is excellent minerality and a relatively refined mid palate mouth feel despite ample muscle and punch reflected by the bitter cherry, moderately firm and palate coating finish. This is not a Chambolle of lace and grace but I like the delivery as well as the underlying material. (90 92) 2024+
