  12/10/2017 - William Kelley Likes this wine:

  The Drouhin ’34 Chambertin is a superbly graceful bottle of old Burgundy which impresses more by its elegance and harmony than by its power or amplitude—though it has plenty of both. Wafting from the glass with notes of dried cherry, potpourri, blood orange, rich soil and grilled squab, the wine is full-bodied, vibrant and full of life on the palate, with an ample chassis of melted tannins and a generous core of chocolatey fruit. It was interesting to observe a certain stylistic continuity between this bottle and the best cuvées Drouhin produce today.

  Some VA on the nose, which was quite rich of aged mahogany notes - quite amazing. The color was incredible and on the palate this was fresh, saturated showing bright fruit and a touch of bitter tart to form a nice contrast to the richness. As this sat in the glass, it improved to finish with marvelously sweet notes, perfect balance and full texture. Fine tannins, an amazing wine.
