Some nice Burgundies (Chicago, IL): This feels like it's still too young. While the lovely red fruit is on full display here, there is still so much structure on the back end of this wine to resolve. It seems to me that structure comes more from the acidity than the tannins right now (though there are heaps of both). This is ripe, but not in the way Vogüé is -- it's more of a crystalline quality and far less of that intense brooding nature. For my palate, not yet at peak, though it is certainly an impressive bottle of wine already.

Superb. Really complete, charming, and precise BM. It lingers. In a great spot now but maybe not quite at peak. Has reached a new level since my last bottle few years back.

Young, powerful, explosive red cherry bouquet and Chambolle perfume that leaps from the glass. Sexy and racy. Elegant soft edges but delivers loads of concentrated red and black fruit. Has a bit of everything, energy, power, high aromatic expression, elegant florals, robust black cherry.

(Roumier Bonnes Mares) Structured, intense and ripe. Horsey with beautiful red fruit. Dripping with refinement and class even in this young state. Great every time I have had it.
(Roumier Bonnes Mares) I just love this vintage and this is one of the wines of the vintage for me. It went through so many phases. From gloriously open to slammed shut. As I uncorked it at the shop it was just singing. The aromas slayed me. Smoked meats . . . dark violets . . cinnamon . . . black fruits . . and you could almost smell the sap. The palate was velvet. Concentrated fruit. Flavors of fruit skins . . attesting to the youth of the wine. But pure and dense with alot of brooding earth and fruit underneath. So sappy on the palate with undeniable purity and silkiness. Some slightly gritty tannins and a beautiful dissolve on the finish. I know so much is there underneath the primary fruit and cannot wait to see in 10 years.

This is really coming around. Lifted floral aromatics. Concentrated, persistent, red fruited palate.

Next to 2002. Similar to last bottle, this is broad and accessible but somewhat thin. 93
