Decanted for 8 hours. This did not evolve over the long decant, and showed some extracted fruit and seemed to have VA. Served blind, least favorite wine of the flight. On opening: Black fruits, and VA on the nose. Deep overly extracted palate, meaty in a Northern Rhone sort of way, lacking elegance and finesse At tasting: Big nose, black fruit and more VA. Palate remains deeply extracted and beefy with robust 09 fruit but lacking in elegance and did not possess much Chambolle character.

Dark brambly sweet fruit. Dark color. Moderate tannin. This is enticing out of the gate, with plenty of stuffing to evolve. This probably deserves some years in bottle, but we like Prieur in this opulent primary phaee.

This is an exquisite wine. Dark ruby with significant fruit and floral aromas on the nose. This is medium bodied but the tannins are still evident given the size and structure of the wine. The aftertaste has a wonderful vibrancy with a long finish. I loved this. Arguably my WOTN amongst a wonderful selection. This will get better and better also. Shared by KB
