This wine was shockingly good. According to the sharer, other bottles have been quite hit or miss. This was a hit, with a very complex nose with fruit, berries, must, meat a little barnyard (in the good way). Supposedly past it's prime, perhaps we just got lucky. Body was full and powerful, but not indelicate. Good balance, but slighly more showy than elegant for a burgundy.

Some bottles of Burgundy dont have it. This one has it. Nose of orange peel, spice, strawberry, and then later a mushroomy aroma reminiscent of champagne. Mouth - cherries, caramelized orange rind (!), hints of roasted meat, with lip smacking acidity and razor sharp definition. A very enjoyable bottle. Very good with food. If anything slightly lacking fruit at age 13.

Groffier Tasting, Mostly 2011s with Some Older Gems (Knightsbridge - Northbrook IL): Tasting. Lots of reduced mushroom with lingering red cherry. Lots of well toned mineral elements that comes across as very elegant and very Chambolle to me today. I preferred this more than most others today.
