brief tasting; this bottle was from a very nice, but age-appropriate fill, though the lower half of the cork was failing, allowing plenty of air in! When the capsule was removed the upper portion of the cork was very damp but intact. After extraction, the wine was poured...
Amazing sous bois aged Burgundy magic with leather/game intense onion compote with sweet fruit remaining on the nose and palate! Tons of mossy, damp soil hints throughout with smoke and bonfire. Lush and sweet in the mouth (I can only imagine how bottles with better corks would be) in the best way possible. 94+. Wish more were around...

Tasted blind: clearly an older wine; aged burg nose, soil-inflected, turns into chocolate covered cherry; great old stuff but would have preferred some of the classic old burg shtank - something more savory than chocolate. Quite good nonetheless.

Bt breathed for 2hrs, color is rather deep and a little murky. Nose has plenty of plum, red fruits and tea leaves. On palate, surpirsed the wine was younger with tannin, very concentrated for a Charmes Chambertin, bit spicy but very enjoyable over the 2 hrs of drinking, where it turned more supple but maintained posture with ample acidity and fruits sweetness emerged mid way. Hope have more bts.
