Wide open for business with a flashy, sexy profile featuring red and black cherry, oodles of spice and a touch of wood. So much pleasure right now. While there may be some additional development, it is hard to pass up right now.

Courtesy of a generous friend. Textbook Chambolle, beautifully smooth and well balanced, with ripe red fruits, good depth, with a bit of forest floor and morel mushroom on the elegant finish. This was all about the perfect balance, and everything you would hope for from a village wine from such a top producer in a top vintage.

Drank alongside the 2010 Barthod CM. Brighter and more red fruit profile compared to the Barthod. Almost a touch of confected/red jolly rancher thing going on (not in a bad way though, just compared to the more traditional style of the Barthod.) It’s lost a touch of it youthful purity and energy, but still in a great spot to drink now. Can likely go on for years but I don't see a lot of upside. Drink these and age the 1er and GCs.

[Blind] Youthful, bright red berry fruit. Super juicy and punchy. Candied red fruit. Some faint spice but overwhelmingly sweet and vibrant. Sappy. High toned, high acid, and energetic. Hard to approach and read although it is straightforwardly delicious. Singular and primary but no obvious upside or need to wait.

Wide open if very primary with toasty red cherry for days. A bit of that ferrous textural complexity coming through. More fun than intellectual at this stage, which ain’t a bad thing, though better in 5-10 years.
