  September 13, 2019 - 6/6, excellent cork.
  Pale/medium garnet core, wide pale rim. Developed, autumnal nose - mulch, touch of meat, underlying black fruits. Medium bodied, spicy, savoury, mulchy and meaty, some dark, plummy fruit, quite rich, especially for the vintage but also with lovely, vibrant acidity which carries a very good length harmonious finish. Delicious, drinking beautifully, showing no signs of decline. These have been excellent, with nary a hint of the “greenies”.

  March 2, 2019 - Difficult vintage, but this showed no green whatsoever. A lovely wine of charm and grace, showing nice Chambolle character. Light ruby, delicate red fruit, floral. Excellent, and wish I had more than one bottle left.

  October 29, 2014 - Medium/deep garnet core, pale garnet rim. Nose shows rich earth, game, liquorice, whiffs of farmyard and chocolate smarties. Medium bodied, savoury, quite rich, liquoricey, gamey fruit, mulch, lovely bright acids, soft tannins, gamey good length finish which also shows a touch of chocolate. This is surprisingly good. It's fully mature but I would say there is no particular hurry to drink up.

  October 27, 2012 - Pale/medium garnet core, wide pale garnet rim. On the nose this has moderately intense raspberry fruit, spice, notes of game. On the palate, the same moderately intense red fruit, good acidity, soft tannins, some savoury gamey notes on the short/medium length finish. Pretty enough, but lacking some of the depth and length of previous bottles.

  October 16, 2011 - No formal note. This had an attractive, sweet strawberry fruited nose, with floral notes but also a touch of smoke and a hint of the farmyard. Medium bodied, with soft tannins, not hugely deep or long but attractively flavoured and well balanced with no rough edges. Drinking well now.
