Red fruit mostly on the nose/palate, not much earthiness/funk/complexity, but perfectly pleasant and without flaws - pretty much what you would expect from an '03 Chaumes.

(Rion Daniel Vosne-Romanée Les Chaumes) Deep coloured. A tight nose of high-tones of violets and a meaty depth, nice fruit at its base, eventually a mocha note develops too. This is quite an interesting wine that has some freshness and linear, primary concentrated fruit - spicy tannins are certainly to the fore, and with a little astringency and perhaps missing a little ripeness, but to drink today I would rate this way higher M&P Rion's NSG Argillières below - they key is freshness.

Perfectly pleasant. Terrific for the GBP10 I paid 5 or 6 years ago. No notes taken, but in line with previous.

Dark red, nice fruit, tannins and acidity, nicely balanced. A little heat on the finish. (13.5% abv). Air for 1 hour. Suspect it will open up further.

Dark ruby color with notes of red fruit and flowers. Slightly earthy on the palate, with red fruit and spice notes. Very nice.
