Still mirrors my previous note on this one, give this air in advance is my clear recommandation. Starts out muted, perhaps a tad dominated by oak but this blows off quickly with air and the wine goes into balance. Elegant, not too complex, ok length. Fruit a bit more developed than a year ago.

JT and Marty Super Bowl Extravaganza (Chez Newman): This was delicious; just pure pleasure in a classic Chambolle package; ripe red fruits, some mineral and floral notes, a bit of orange zest; still quite primary, but so fun and tasty to drink it disappears quickly!

Kind of mirror my previous note on the wine, although 2 years ago, but the palate stands out as better than the nose for me. Nose almost a bit shy, I should perhaps have given it more air, but the palate was showing light red fruit, great balance, ok length.

Tasted the 2008 (92pt) and 2009 (90pt) side by side. The 2008 had the edge tonight. It was more precise and crisp without being lean as some of the 2008 are. Overall the wines were nice and elegant with red fruit and some spices dominating but there was no wow Burg factor for sure.

This was a lovely showing; pulled and drank at cellar temp; the nose initially was full of minerality and crushed stone, almost more reminiscent of a 2010; with some air and warming, ripe fruit began to show, though still superbly balanced. With more time spice and floral notes emerge, still with a significant amount of mineral/stone notes. The palate remains very well balanced with good depth and focus. The finish is lovely. Still really quite primary so would hope to hold my last bottle for a few more years.
