Drank last nite with the boyz from Ancram at the Woodlands. Nose had a considerable amount of brett which no one seemed to mind--not my fave aroma, but considering the quality of the wine, was not hard to overlook. Wine is showing some bricking in the glass showing its age. This wine has a very definitive savory and earthy quality to it, which I enjoy. However, it also still possesses a very good amount of black fruit, along with some barnyard, forest floor and spice. Nice long finish too. Despite the brett, still enjoyed this wine quite a bit.

There was some brett here which was off-putting to many. I found it a manageable level of brett that gave the wine some intrigue, but alas it shouldn't be there and therefore is a flaw. Great rich black cherry fruit and spice behind the brett.

This was really good, better than my expectations by a fair amount; the nose was fresh and mineral driven with ripe red berry fruits, tons of crushed stone, floral, and orange peel. Super classic Chambolle for me. The palate has the lovely ripeness of 09 with good density, definitely 1er cru, but has better than expected freshness which gives it a saline hint on the finish. Super tasty. Makes me want to explore the more recent vintages. Paired great with roasted chicken.

Drank last nite at CKH for AP 26th bday. Wine is showing its age in appearance and palate. Bricking at edges. Classic burg nose of dirty socks, earthy forest notes and mushrooms. Same on the palate, though still with a hint of cherry fruit. Earthy, savory, meaty note. Solid acidic core and mineral base. Very demonstrative of this wine's terroir. Classic aged Chambolle, though I would've liked a tad more fruit in the glass. Still very enjoyable with my duck. This wine would be an 'Uncle Ned' fave for sure!

Really outstanding. Delicate, light bodied, full, round rich red cherry taste. Full of life and energy. Just delicious.
