So Chambertin tonight! Less Charmes, with a welterweight profile that knocks one out with depth, Chambertin girth, deep dark dark cherry, shiitake mushroom, black pepper hint, smoke and great breeding . A beauty. Ready now

Ah,Charmes at its highest and best(next to Rousseau). The 2011 has risen to true GC status ,with a palate redolent with deep dark cherry, sweet blue and black berry flavors, a lush velvety, feminine side of Chambertin expressed in a very long palate journey, with depth all along the way. Just wonderful now with only a brief decant needed. The nose is riper now as well, showing medium-toned cherry, forestry wood and a perfumed overtone that carries over onto the palate.

Wonderful yet again, displaying a true grand cru breeding with that slightly more substantial Perrot Minot fruit style of the past two decades. The nose was redolent with dark fruits, wonderful soil and a hint of cherry/leather/smoke . Mellifluous throughout. With time, perhaps because the temperature outside was a bit higher than ideal, the wine did not follow through as magnificently as it had with prior bottles.This could be evolution or variation, but this was nonetheless a crowdpleaser at a high-level.
Heidi's Gang: Back in Saddle Again (The Kenwood, Mpls, MN): Medium dark red color. PNP, drank a glass over 90 minutes. Drinking well, medium plus body, deep red fruits, dried earth, twigs and wood spices, lots of old world minerality.

I loved this wine. Delicious and already drinking great now. This was only decanted for 30 minutes, it got better over time in the glass.
