  July 31, 2022 - Fourth bottle from a full case purchased at auction in 2009. Pristine condition. Youthful appearance. It was clear from the outset that this 2005 would need a lot of time - so much more than e.g. the 2002 and 2004 (of which I also had a case each). Now, after 17 years, the tannic structure has finally resolved, and the freshness and youthful tightness (yes, even after three hours in the decanter) clearly derive from the steely acidity alone. The fruit is bright and fresh (citrus and tart red berries), and the finish is long and zesty. With ample oxygen this is now on its plateau of maturity, and it has the balance to continue for decades. It will be very interesting to see how the tertiary complexity develops.

  November 3, 2021 - Light red center. Pretty lean, acidic, and tannic right out of the bottle, this quickly perked up in the decanter. Tart, earthy red fruit later joined by blueberry and a significant upswing in texture and volume. Very Chambolle though. This is a 2005 in which the structure owes more to the strong acidity than the tannin, although the latter is certainly present as well. Very good now, maybe with room for modest improvement over the next few years.

  February 14, 2021 - Decanted for two hours. It looks like this wine has turned a corner. It is still a bit dusty and tannic, but its silky texture and sensual fruit are starting to show themselves again, as well as a flowing and floral airiness, Length is very good, with a hint of cold tea, but there seems to ne sufficient fruit for further development. I think that this should turn out allright - it may gain a point (or two) in a few years’ time.

  October 2, 2020 - How can a well-known producer use corks of such low quality? Well, that was the first challenge when I came to drink this bottle ... using a lever corkscrew I could only pierce the center of the cork, the rest stuck to the neck of the bottle. It was necessary to decant and filter it immediately. Perhaps it is the way for a wine that is a mixture of two inconsequential first cru.
  Beautiful, crystalline colour with ruby ​​tones. Deep earthy aromas, honeysuckle and smoked red currants. Elegant and well defined but not too complex. On the palate it lacks depth but instead offers a good note of acidity, a moderate persistence and a fairly rustic texture. Femininity will have to wait for a less powerful vintage. To add a little injury, my glass broke, losing its base (pictured).
  
  ¿Cómo puede ser que un productor considerado de utilice corchos de tan baja calidad? Pues ese fue el primer desafío a la hora de beberme esta botella ... usando un sacacorchos de palanca solo pude perforar el centro del corcho, el resto se quedó pegado al cuello de la botella. Fue necesario decantarlo y filtrarlo de forma inmediata. Quizás sea lo propio para un vino de mezcla de dos terruños primer cru intrascendentes.
  Precioso color transparente con tonos rubí. Profundos aromas terrosos, a madreselva y a grosellas rojas ahumadas. Elegantes y bien definidos aunque no demasiado complejos. En boca carece de produndidad pero en cambio ofrece una buena nota de acidez, una moderada persistencia y una textura basten te rústica. La femenidad tendrá que esperar a una añada menos poderosa. Para colmo de males la copa se rompió perdiendo su base (en la foto).

  June 21, 2020 - Drank with the 05 Clos Vougeot and Vosne Romanée. I personally preferred this one, but it might be because the other two needed more air. Very slightly perfumed, sweet, honeysuckle and almost "lavender" note. Mid-length finish and round mouthfeel. Slight bricking.
