Community Tasting Note

Saturday, February 27, 2016 - Decent fill but a bit cloudy in appearance as it splashed into the decanter. A bit worried until I get my first whiff. Ahhh, now this is why we love chambolle musigny. Just a beautiful, sensual perfume. I believe this is my first Combe d'Orveau, but we are certainly in chambolle land. It had been a great day on a number of fronts, and I really wanted this to be a spectacular bottle, paired with a fairly simple grilled chicken and peppers. Alas it was not to be, as the mouth just could not live up to the nose. Red fruits (raspberry) and wet hay. Nicely balanced and integrated, with a soft mouthfeel, but not much complexity. Did not really change over the course of 2-3 hours. Not really in decline, but I suspect well into middle age. Drink up.
