S$55. Decanted for 1 hour, drunk over 2. Started out with lots of strawberry and citrus notes, but over the course of 2 hrs, this died down and the flowery notes of CM began to show. Not complex by far, however, for $55, I feel it represents very good value for money. Very fresh with good acidity. On seeing the large change of the wine within 2 hours, I'm interested to see how this wine would evolve over the next year. However, the lack of complexity would preclude me from keeping this wine for more than 3 years.

Impromptu tasting at Le Benaton; 9/26/2009-9/27/2009: Very closed up , hard and tough wine. Very wild and backwardish, almost austere brambly red fruits. Didnt get any of the beautiful chambolle flowers though.
