but it's not necessarily better

It has lovely internal sweetness

both of which are impressive

A really lovely expression of quite intense fruit - a little too intense to be truly elegant perhaps

Camille Giroud, Chambertin Vintage:2006 but it's not necessarily betterA serious, backward and brooding nose reluctantly gives up hints of very earthy dark pinot fruit nuanced by a distinct animale hint that merges into broad shouldered flavors that offer excellent volume and concentration that finishes with just a hint of dryness and plenty of minerality. The dryness should round out in time as there is no associated sense of astringency. (91 93) 2016+
