Hubert Lamy Saint Aubin 1er Cru Clos de la Chateniere 2021

sweet and succulent

spectacular and about the only nit is a discreet touch of backend warmth

shows beautiful fruit purity

The still very firm and backward middle weight plus flavors possess both excellent mid-palate density and plenty of minerality that carries over to the hugely long finish that is impeccably well-balanced

more freshness and notes of raspberry leaf

There is a velvety and highly seductive character to the wonderfully rich and generous middle weight flavors that also brim with palate coating dry extract before culminating in a seriously long anise-infused finish

high tannins

suggesting crustacean shell reductions

There is a really lovely sense of underlying tension suffusing the much more mineral-driven middle weight flavors that are not quite as rich but notably more precise on the chiseled and wonderfully refined finish

indeed this could aptly be described as a wine that delivers power without weight

There is a driving minerality to the mouth coating and focused middle weight plus flavors that are ultra-vibrant
