Outstanding! Very nice aromas of mushrooms, sous bois and cherries. The palate is very focused and elegant, plenty of fruit left evidenced by a lovely red cherry note, acidity is well balanced and the length is very good and pleasing. Not sure if I could have opened this at a better time!

Rødbær. blomster, litt blå bær, sopp, krydder. Kompleks nese med litt sødme. Tydelige tanniner med røde bær, noe tobakk, fat, svært ren transparent frukt. Chianti og nebbiolo ble vurdert, Volnay ble gjettet. 2010 Patrice Rion, 1er, Chambolle. Gruenchers. Lang og delikat. 92 p

Wow. Not that this was a "wow" wine, but it did wow me with how open and delicious it was. Popped and poured over a couple of hours this showed a lovely flowery Chambolle nose and nice dark cherry/raspberry fruit. It tails off just a bit on the mid palate and finish and there are some gentle chalky tannins on the finish as well. Really enjoyed this.

A touch of wood spice marries nicely with the reserved, cool rocky fruit personality of this wine. It has the flesh of black cherry and just below the surface is a bed of cherry stones. There’s some purple flower perfume and substantial minerally structure. Lovely poise, great balance, good intensity and should be quite brilliant in a decade or two.
