The comment on "this is why we drink burgundy" is so true. This oozes chambolle. Gorgeous floral, strawberry, and mineral-laden aromas. Pure, fresh, stem-free nose that shows in a way that only a cool vintage allows. It's not powerful and the body stays medium weight and svelte. In a great spot...and a good find for the price. Would be happy to drink this everyday (score helped a point by the QPR)

Another one from Acker Retail bites the dust. It wasn’t oxidized or a cork taint, rather fully stunted aromatically. Very similar to what happens when you leave a bottle in the food fridge for too long - kills any primary or otherwise wafty aromas (was expecting honey, butter popcorn, and hazelnut here). Left a tart and acidic body as well. Will just say that I’m not convinced this bottle wasn’t fake - there were bits of cork in the bottle despite a fully intact cork and I had a nasty inflammatory reaction the next morning…

Not it. Should be sub $50, not $100. Currently uninspiring, flat, and hot. Not much acid either. Sure this could open up over the near term to add a point, but I don't see the point nor long term potential
