February 22, 2024 - Popped and poured. Medium to full bodied. This remains tight and a little tannic. Would have benefitted from a decant. Red cherry, black tea, herbs and forest floor. Developing some nuance. Will time open this wine up more?

January 26, 2024 - Best bottle of this I've had in quite a while. I wonder how many 2002s are still getting better at this point? This almost certainly is. We used to see her periodically and she'd be a little appalled when I told her I was drinking these 10 years ago. Limpid red and accessible out of the gate. More primary red fruit than secondary aromatics. Would not guess this to be 22 years old. One of the nice aspects of 2002 is that many of them have nice acidity which gives them a freshness often lacking in bigger vintages. This became a little more tannic later in the evening, which was fine as we had it with a pretty rich black trumpet risotto. I'd guess you could drink this over the next 20 years and choose when based on what you want to experience.

January 14, 2024 - Medium garnet with browning at the edge. Initially very muted but opened up after ~20 minutes in the glass. Medium nose of dried violet, dried red cherry and red plum, cinnamon, brown sugar, black tea, forest floor, and leather. Medium acidity, medium grippy tannins, and medium finish. Good complexity, but the structure seemed to be sticking out more than what’s left of the fruit, and I am not sure if it will come around. Maybe past its peak already?

September 24, 2023 - 1 of 2, cork c70% soaked (even). Purchased from TWS April 2005 - £40.
Pale/med garnet core, pale garnet rim. Nose shows pure strawberry fruit, black tea, touch of soil and game. Medium bodied, pure red fruit, black tea again, touch of mineral, with refined, resolved tannins - this is cool, elgeant and composed, fresh acids carry a good length, seamless finish with notes of game and a hint of white pepper. Excellent, drinking well but absolutely no hurry.1 person found this helpful Comment -

April 23, 2023 - DR Wines description is far better than I can write. All I can say is that is a classic example of how burg has become overpriced. Very nice and drinkable but not worth current pricing in fact miles off. Drink the newer vintages which are a lot better

10/11/2006 (link)(Barthod Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru "Les Cras") This was smoking and reinforces why I love Barthod. The wines when they are on are so classic with such balance. Nose was reticent for around ten minutes but got groovin after that. So much spice and red fruits. Complex. Palate was not giving much but again after a while started to really groove. Silky and supple with great mineral-tinged fruit and sappiness. This wine had some major sap. Long finish that was mineral accented. Perfect integration of Chambolle elegance and minerality. Great stuff. And not too closed to boot.
