Community Tasting Notes (12) Avg Score: 92.3 points

  • Still retains a clean, pure dark fruit base with licorice, clove, smoke, dried cinnamon stick and gives way to a bit of beet root and faint damp woodland scents. Mineral palate with appropriate acidity and resolving tannins- This may be one of the '05s that ages well and on it's balance as the fruit and structure are integrating nicely today. 92+. I would not check in again for another 5 years +. Elegant with solid fruit.

  • If I must be honest, it was closed. If it wasn't closed, it surely wasn't the floral chambolle that I love. It was dark and brooding. I doubt I could even recognize it as pinot noir (but honestly, we drank a few bottles before). It was a solid showing but my best recommendation would be like most others regarding 2005 1ers...wait another 3-5 years. It's so getting there...but it's just not there yet. I don't expect greatness here but after 45 minutes of air, it did come to life.

  • Good acidity, nice bitterness, moderately good nose, but the palate fails. Not much fruit, nor any earthiness. With air it only deteriorates. Ultimately it disappoints. It’s fine, but a 2005 cote de nuits 1er cru should be better.

  • super wine finally reaching it's peak. More Vosne than Chambolle, lots of spice and cherry, great length and focus. A very nice surprise.

  • Rich, harmonious cherry fruit on the nose, just transitioning to secondary qualities from crunchy primary fruit; add in some ferrous elements, Asian spices, some smoke and a serious animale thing working. Firm acidity carries all this good stuff to a very long finish. Savory and umami elements of onion compote, herbes de Provence and beef stew then shoot the lights out on the finish. Delicious!
