Consumed at the Two Pours offline at the Ledbury in honour of Birger Vejrum, this was a magnificent wine. Tarry on the nose, rich deep fruit with a tremendous savoury acidity and tannin making this laser sharp and with a depth and persistence of flavour that it just wowed the table. Flat out gorgeous but with huge life ahead.

Yuck, a travesty of a Chambolle. Sweet, gloopy fruit which tires the palate, little structure and a very bitter over-extracted aftertaste. Avoid. I note the new look CT has a button marked Un-drink. I wish I could....

Consumed with sausage and lentils with a salsa verde at Rochelle Canteen. Super nose, rich, tannic and lots of acid, gutsy, delicious now.
