  Dark ripe fruit well balanced by acid and medium tannins. Surprisingly fresh. Initially savory-horsey, but that blew off with airtime. Medium-bodied with graphite notes. Very tasty. My kind of wine.

  This bottle still had enough freshness. Ripe dark cherry fruit, sous bois, silky texture with a hint of tannins. Classic and nuanced Chambolle. I would drink now.

  Some slightly overripe sweet cherries, graphite, flowers, but also some beef blood/raw meat kind of thing, rum-pot and dried fruits. It's medium+ bodied and pretty dense with medium acidity and medium+ tannin that is good quality. Not an easy to drink wine for me... the slight over-ripeness and the animalic notes threw me a little off. It's a top-notch wine from one of the greatest producers of Burgundy and a great year too... it left me a little puzzled.

  Medium garnet. Distinctive cherry note with lots of rum-pot, dried fruit and jammy notes as well. The palate is dense and quite structured even at this age, does this need more time. I don’t know. The wine is dense and aromatic but somehow I struggle to like the package. To be revisited. 90-93.

  Truly outstanding wine--lush on the plate, dense black fruits, almost plummy, exceptional length, silky, rich and very intense, certainly the finest Chambolle Charmes I ever had, simply extraordinary balance of fruit and tannin. While denser and with more of a black fruit taste, it rivaled many bottles of Amoureuses I've had. Absolutely ready now but certainly will last three or more years. Absolutely no bottle variation across a case served to guests.
