  (Guyon Antonin Chambolle-Musigny) Medium-plus cherry red, little fading. The nose starts in a lovely fashion, deep but still red cherry, faintly fading creme brulee too. Initially the palate is very tasty and succulent, good acidity and slightly dry tannnins. At a tasting this would stand out but actually became a bit wearing as the tannin seemed to get more pronounced. Then as the bottle was fading it really started to sing again with super red fruit and currants on the finish - there's a little oak too, but not at all jarring. So starts great becomes disappointing then finishes with a flourish 2 out of 3 isn't bad! I bought a couple more for future reference.
