Amiot-Servelle (at the winery): green and very tight on the nose. Ok fruit but very grippy and structured. Austere with a lot of licorice root tea. dry palate. So much for prejudices about Chambolle wines! Should be ok down the road. 89-92

Trip to Burgundy; 6/7/2009-6/10/2009 (The Cote d'Or): A very small vineyard that literraly means "behind the barn". Amiot-Servelle exploits about half the wines here. I thought this was a very good wine. Lots of depth on the nose. Excellent really, with rose and hibiscus petals, soil, dried mushrooms and sweet, deeply fruited red fruits, with raspberries dominant. Lots of punch on the palate. Round and plush, it showed crushed flowers and ripe cherries in a silky and elegant package. No softness of flesh though, there was a nice structure to the wine still, especially when moving into the classy finish, which was at once plush and persistent.
