This was wonderful. It took an hour to open up, but no green here. Wonderful, very pretty red burgundy that was wonderful with our duck breast last night.

Very light in color, opens up with a nose of earth and funk. Lean body, still quite intense, focused and linear, like drinking liquid chalk with a mix of light red berries. A red Chablis if you like. Just a hint of vegetables but in a good way, like an added spice. Singular wine, light - en danseuse. No hurry to finish up.

Drinking really well right now. No sign of "green meanies", typical Chambolle character, very seductive, a bit earthy, faded fruit, already seems mature.

(Barthod Ghislaine Chambolle-Musigny) Medium colour. The nose is dominated by that cedar-green note, it does slowly recede over 2 hours, revealing more of the ripe red strawberry fruit below. In the mouth it’s ripe and sweet, full of red fruits, a nice texture and a good burst of concentration on the mid-palate - but it’s also here that you can taste the green element. It’s soft, sweet and nicely concentrated, but with this level of green I can’t recommend it…

Earthy, smoky, metallic, manure, cranberry, spices; very dry, seems to be somewhat off, but i can't put my finger on exactly what is wrong?

Listening to some of the other reviews, I can see how people's tastes vary. It is a bit rough and dry. However, I still like this wine.
