Limpid red color. Breathes up cherry and sous bois. Lacey entry. Choke cherry, raspberry and a tart finish. Really fine and has filled out a bit since my last bottle. 90

Tart, tartaric, tired. Bertheau Is normally so elegant. It was a disappointment to encounter high-toned crisp lingonberry, tart cherry and red currant notes followed by a somewhat thin center, lack of full finish and excess acid balance. It was not clear if there was green but something took away from the melange. Sell.

Comes across riper than expected for Chambolle - delicious nonetheless. Raspberry liqueur and whiffs of bramble and spice to offset the ripeness. Not the most profound yet very drinkable over dinner.
EDIT: Really develops with some air. Do not make the same mistake I did and judge too early; really comes into its own with an hour to breathe. Spice notes and fruit intensifies and integrates. Word of warning to all who taste a small splash of wine soon after it's poured. Texture also much improved... can drink entire bottle myself now. Will not do so out of propriety and will share with the chef and maitre'd.

Just delicious red fruit with well integrated sous bois. Drinking really well now likely not to get much better, just really enjoyable now.
