  Opens with a beam of bright red tart cherry, much briar, med+ acid and medium tannic grip. Softens with airtime to share riper red fruit cushioned in a complexity sois bois and briar stems. Just entering its’ drinking window and years of development to go. 13.5% Alc.
  
  Nicely balanced and interesting to the bottom of the bottle, but seemed like a wine to appreciate more than to love. From Amoureuses, I hope for swooning, head-over-heels passion.
  
  This is a bottle for lovers of subtle complexity and an ethereal style; I'm told by knowledgeable friends that Bertheau excels in cooler vintages like 2010.

  had after the '12. rather similar tutti fruiti, muscular, and tannic. Needs more time. Today the bertheau '10 charmes is more charming.

  Atlanta Amoureuses & Monty Dinner: Power and depth combined with elegance. Definitely the best showing of the night for Bertheau.

  Decanted for 8 hours. This got better with the long decant, as initially it was tart and clenched. Served blind, favorite wine of the flight.
  On opening: Pale red color, with very fine sediment. Raspberry spice nose, silky palate with a very clenched tart berry finish.
  At tasting: Spice, florals, red fruits on the nose. Lithe palate, saline infused texture, very subtle. Lovely sweetness on the back end of the palate that lingers on the finish.

  Bertheau Chambolle-Musigny Amoureuses 2010.
  Dette er en pen vin, men kommer ikke helt opp og nikker med det første.
  Masse luft nødvendig.
  Småsexy lurer i bakgrunnen.
  Pen frukt, konsentrert men vektløs.
  Fint syrespill.
  Flott lang finish med fine tanniner.
  Dette trenger nok mer tid. 92p
