An excellent bottle, showing depth of flavors, structure and freshness that come with a cooler microclimate and a longer growing season and elevage. A pure expression of high altitude Cab with dark berry, earthy, savory, peppery note and elevated acidity

Brief recollection: elegant, floral nose, very expressive and charming, with cherry, toast, spice. A truly hedonistic, sensual, seamless wine on the palate, ripe but nicely balanced, a quintessential top-tier Chambolle

Initially closed, structured with prominent but finely-grained tannins, I was worried this bottle was opened prematurely. One hour in decanter turned this wine upside down. Displayed broad aromatic range, pure & nuanced flavors of dark cherry, anise, eucalyptus, balsamic and roses, supported by incredible purity of fruit and finesse on the palate, together with bright acidity in the back, this was the best wine I ever tasted from Cogno. Bravo
