  Portland Paulee (Oregon Historical Society, Portland OR): This is clearly a love it or hate it wine. In many ways, I fall on the fence of liking it but not loving it. More in that I enjoyed this as an aged Pinot Noir and not as an aged Chambolle from a top vintage if that makes sense. Upon first pour, this shows off some harnessed power behind the tones of dark red cherries, raspberries, sour red fruits, currants, tobacco leaf, some wood, violets, licorice, and earth spices. The Medium/full bodied feel has reigned in a ton since I last had this 15odd years ago, but it is still much larger scaled for a Chambolle premier cur while the medium acidity is balanced and the medium tannins have predominately pulled back. As a Chambolle, this ain't it. As a really good, larger scaled Pinot Noir that is approaching 25 years old, it's really damned tasty. It all comes down to what expectation and desire you have going into this.

  1st of 6, decanted an hour, perfect cork and level - dark but not dense ruby, youthful; black cherry, some earth and a touch of spice, vanilla initially, quite nuanced; medium, v long, nice persistence, ok concentration though perhaps less than expected for a 99, round and quite well balanced given level of extraction, even some silk, early days, upside, 15+ years. F (17.5)......and a much nicer drink on night than over angular Grivot Brulees 99 and not far behind last week's Fuees 99.

  Casual dinner at Testacio: Whoa, killer nose of florals, red cherry and spice with intensity and layering.
  Youthfully silky and pure fruit. Near grand cru concentration with seamless and well integrated structure. Power in a velvet glove -- baby Musigny.

  Dinner at Testaccio (Chicago, IL): Others at the table were far more keen on this wine than I was. I thought it somewhat charmless and heavy, especially for a Chambolle. The fruit leans towards the black side of the spectrum, and this feels too weighty on the palate. Some brown spice on the nose points to oak use -- the finish on the palate amply confirms it. There are some bitter elements on the finish that are unfortunately paired with the tannins.

  Chambolle Musigny Tasting (Restaurant De Ertepeller, Papendrecht. NL): Appealing textural volume, with black tea and dark strawberry on a zesty spicy finish.
