Beautiful 2001 Drouhin Baudes - best shortly after opening (93), this showed a sour cherry, wild raspberry, Chambolle spice nose with a succulent, potent cherry and lavender palate. This tailed off after half an hour (90 points) but for a brief time this was terrific.

Maybe not correct? Volatile at first. Very dark and ripe, with an odd burnt note, not very Chambolle-like. Nice silky extract, but lacking some freshness.

The front end of this wine is lovely - very good intensity of pretty fruit, a picture perfect Chambolle nose, lovely sweetness. Very precise wine, but today it is showing too much acidity to really fully enjoy.
