Tuesday, August 26, 2008 - 99 cote de nuits premier cru retrospective (michael, winnetka IL): nose: rather bold nose for chambolle with floral tones, spice tones, black cherries, sour raspberries, and bits of anise. Very pungent, but not as feminine as I'd have exptected
taste: fairly big flavors with floral tones, black spices, black cherries, and some anise tones
overall: not what I'm used to from chambolle, but very interesting nonetheless. Very dark in the glass and more robust then usual on both the nose and palate with a black cherry attack and black spice finish
