Community Tasting Notes 7

  October 29, 2017 - Rather powerful nose with ripe strawberries, some spice, wood, and flowers, hints of smoke and red berry liqueur, and some developed notes. Medium+ body with strawberries and cherries, good concentration of berries, spice notes, some tannins with slightly woody elements to them, spicy aftertaste. 91 p.
  
  I feel that this wine was perhaps raised in a little too much new oak for its own good, for it still shows quite a lot of spicy and woody notes at 18 years of age. However, it doesn't show too much of the typical mature Burgundy notes (undergrowth and so on), so it should keep for at least another decade (at least judged from this bottle, which had a truly perfect cork).

  March 22, 2016 - Mag, still pretty closed at opening, decanted for about 2 hrs, then great development in the glass, excellent charmes chambertin with sufficient reserves for a couple of more years....

  November 2, 2013 - Drank with Adlers at Plates last nite. Medium to dark red color, nose of red fruits, some spice & forest floor perhaps. At first I thought the wine needed to open up a bit--didn't decant--but it was what it was. Pleasant round mouthfeel, nice spiciness, a trace of minerality, and decent acidity and fruit levels, but I found the fruit to not be as sweet or ripe as one would have expected for this vintage. Also, it didn't have nearly the depth or complexity that I expected for any decent burg, let alone a grand cru. Totally lacking in the mid-palate, and fairly short, again especially for such a wine. It seemed as if the various elements comprising this Cru just never came together or coalesced into a grand big picture vision. A very good example of the whole NOT equaling the sum of its parts. Very disappointing! (especially in comparison to what we next opened: A 95 Smith Haut Lafite, which was fabuloso!)

  February 15, 2011 - rode kleur, neus heeft nog veel rood fruit, komt jeugdig over, heel anders dan de 1ste fles, mooie mineralen, kruidig, heeft lekkere soepele dronk, elegant, makkelijk, kleine zoete impressie, rijpheid, mooi in balans, prettig glas in een mooie moderne stijl
