Sadly, I killed a baby. Too tight, tasted of resin. Waited two more days and opened up nicely, but still bore little resemblance to what I would expect from an Amoureuses

Chambolle / Volnay: Almost nailed this, got the plot and producer right but was guessing a relatively weaker vintage like 06. The silky tannins, ethereal weight and very pretty red fruit made me quite sure it was an Amoureuses, but from a weaker vintage and producer because of the lack of complexity and persistence in the fruit. Still very young though with possible upside.

The structure is there and balance started showing only after about a 2 hr decant. This is a solid wine but given it is an Amoureuses with its pedigree, it is disappointing. It doesn't have the depth, complexity, or elegance that I associate with this vineyard. But it is a young wine, very young for the plot so it can only get better.
