Popped and poured at cellar temp. Black pepper, iodine, menthol and a little animal fur on the nose. Tart cherry and cranberry fruit, black tea and a pronounced acid filled finish. Not over the hill, but more about structure than complexity or pleasure at first blush. I will see if some more time open coaxes more out of this bottle.

This is in a good place right now. Open, showing maturity, tasty black cherry with nice forest floor secondary notes. Really good combination of elegance and concentration and a perfect example of a good Chambolle villages.

This is quite youthful and primary in its teens, but accessible with some air showing elegant dark fruits and earthy notes. Nice concentration for a village wine. I plan let my other bottle age another 2-4 years. 90+

Takes several hours of air to fully reveal itself. Med acid, med body, in good balance but this did not taste like it would improve or change substantially in flavor or aroma with additional age. Good/very good but not quite great.

Fatal nick of oxidation/maderization on what otherwise seemed a perfectly sound bottle. Sink.
