  Opened in Hong Kong. Double decanted and then breathed for about 30 minutes before being served blind.
  
  This performed really well - some guests were guessing Gevrey or Morey initially but with a bit of air in the glass it started opening up and showing the Chambolle floral, mineral character and blossomed wonderfully.
  
  Really good village and has reaffirmed my opinion that Barthod wines need time. If you have their bottles make sure you give them at least 10 years and enough air!
  
  As for this particular bottle, I imagine it will hold at this level for a few years yet, but I think it's in a wonderful spot, so don't hesitate to drink up.

  New Years Eve (Dinner at ours): Something not quite right here - cooked? This comes with perfect provenance and was shipped only recently so maybe some sort of bacterial problem in the bottle? Definitely something porty, and the middle of the wine just kind of falls out.

  Seeking Terroir; Comparing village Chambolle and Vosne: Bigger expression of Chambolle than the Felletig '11, with nice C-M characteristics. May need more time, as it drank a bit on the simple side, even in this company.

  Drinking beautifully! This has come a long ways since my more austere first btl 7yrs ago. Opened 2hrs prior to dinner & slow-oxed in Riedel Burg glasses & btl. Semi translucent ruby red. Enticing deep aromas of cherry, roses, spice & emerging forest floor. I could have been happy with my nose in the glass all night but the palate was equally lovely with Chambolle lace and layers of sappy, mineral infused dark & red fruit, spice and again hints of forest floor. The harmony here is nearly worlds class. The style seems to stake out its own middle ground between Mugnier & Roumier while leaving no doubt your enjoying all the grace Chambolle can offer. Loved it! Ready now but I'll open my last btl around 2024+
