  December 23, 2016 - Tasting with Michelle and Bo in Singapore (Pine Close): A decent village Chambolle, but not a style I enjoy. It had rather intense nose, with plenty of oakey notes alongside sweet wafts of ripe red cherries and raspberries, deeper blueberry notes, and then drifts of orange peel and sweet flowers. The oak disturbed me a little on there. Same thing in the palate as well, which had sweet vanilla and coconutty oak character from the get-go. Thankfully, there was decent material under that. This was clearly made in a more extracted style, but while ripe, it was not candied sweet, with notes of tart sour cherries, some darker fruit, and a blast of spice, all this still in a grip of some muscular tannins and lots of juicy, lemony acidity. Decent finish had a bit of wet stone mineral about it. All in all, a bit too worked and oaky for my tastes, but there is some merit to the wine. Still very primary when we had it - I would put it aside for another 4-5 years to see if the fruit can outlive the oak.
