  2 of 12 … decanted at 3:00 drank at 8:30. Given experience with first bottle last month I gave this a longer decant. Still very young but was more open and balanced. This bottle drank well over three hours …. Clearly will improve with age

  2012 Domaine Dujac Chambolle Musigny
  
  Cellared since release
  Opened Jan 1, 2024; drank over 3 nights.
  Deep ruby, with slight orange rim. Nose of red fruit, and forest floor
  Black fruit initially in the mouth, good balance (acid) and integrated tannins.
  To my palate, the wine was initially more Morey St Denis in character rather than a Chambolle Musigny. However, after 90 minutes of air, there was a softer, red fruit predominance and the wine developed complexity, which was apparent on the second and third nights.
  This was maybe not quite as good of some of the Dujac Village wines I have enjoyed in the past, which have been so good – especially the CM Village.
  Nevertheless, it was enjoyable, and I think it will get better.
  If I opened one today, I would give it at least 60 minutes of air before sampling.

  1 of 12 decanted @ 5:30 served @ 8:00. Deep ruby core youthful rims. Bouquet didn’t really open up until serving when the clean red fruit was fully evident. Medium weight, well integrated fine tannins, silky textured pallet complimented the sweet red fruit. Persistent finish. This improved over the evening with the last sips around 10:30 were the best. Easy drinker

  This was ok; a bit rough hewn and still big and burly; definitely not a typical Chambolle as others have noted; this is more like a hefty Morey; still good and has its charms; don't get me wrong I wouldn't turn it down if someone poured it; but I wouldn't necessarily seek it out either.
