  PnP. ABV 13%. Crazily big and good for a village. I would be surprised if anyone could guess this as a village in blind tasting. It’s approachable but not really ready at the beginning, you could feel the substantial tannins bites and structure. This is most likely a 40 years village. Is ‘05 the best Chambolle vintage ever?

  Last had this in its youth, pretty much when it was released. How time flies, almost 20 years in the life of a wine aficionado. Against my recollection elements seem to have rearranged. The huge gob of fruit has moved to the front and the tannins are barely perceptible. There is healthy acidity for a ripe vintage only rearing its head a few seconds into the midpalate to propel a longish finish. The fruit profile strikes me as neither red or black fruited. More like a stewed fruit compote. Enveloping, comforting, pleasing but at the expense of clarity and delineation. Revisiting the nose now and there is great brambly freshness reminding me of '10 Burgs. In its prime now about as good as a Village has the right to be.

  PnP. ABV 13%. First of the case bought from secondary market few years ago. Clean and expressive nose, flowers, dark soils, mints, and oaks. Very encouraging based on bouquet alone. Mouth watering acidity and firm mid-palate. Excellent density and length for a Village, pretty much in 1er Cru level. Finished a bit spicy and warm. Approachable now but should continue to evolve and improve, not yet reached plateau, will be very good when ready which shouldn’t be too far away.

  Past prime. Some cherry but mostly tired.
