Birthday wines. Big, structured and BLUE - this is some of the bluest fruit on Burgundy I've had in ages. There's some wood on this still, but at this point the blue fruit and the tannic structure has overtaken it. Would have benefitted from a decant, I think - my other bottle is going back into storage (or if opened, will require a decant).

Surprisingly good for a 06 red, a vintage I rarely have good experience. Fresh strawberry aroma with mineral and stems. Balanced palate with decent red berries and sous bois. Fairly good texture for a 1er CM.

This wine was superb after 90 mins of aeration. Very balanced with chambolle purple and black fruit. Consistent with previous note. Drinking beautifully.

This wine is now singing. Entering its primary drinking window. Everything screams Chambolle. Despite a marginal vintage.
