I have drunk this wine on a number of occasions over the last 5 years and last nights bottle was à point.Medium-full body, ripe and succulent with some fruit.There has been a lot of bottle variation of the years and hope my remaining 4 are as good as this one.
From magnum. Belated note so not the best description, but this really opened up to be full of red fruit and a bit of spice. Good medium weight palate with fine soft tannin. Acidity is ample, call it juicy, and while not at all excessive, this wine is best with food. Still a few years from peak maturity.

(Potel Nicolas Chambertin) Medium, medium-plus cherry-red. The nose is high-toned and, initially, a little 'clipped', it's very wide but takes quite some time to take on a rounder form. The palate is not about overt density or creamy, spicy oak, rather transparency and a fine burst of intensity that crescendos into the very long finish. Vs my memory of the cask sample, I'm a little disappointed (maybe it was a different cask) as that was one of the finest wines I've ever tasted from barrel. In isolation this is a very fine Chambertin with great complexity and a wonderful finish. Excellent rather than great!

Rose & Arrow Dinner (RPM Steak - Chicago IL): Good enough nose, but clearly dirty on the palate.

Macerated florals and slightly fruited out. Cigarette smoke and dried prunes. Though it is drinking nicely but it's Prematurely aged for its time
