Medium-pale ruby, fading at the edges, but without browning. Quite pretty and feminine on the nose. The fruit is bright and light, and there is plenty of acidity. Roughish texture tannins on the back end, and a spicy kick. The sweet spot comes after about 2 hours. This certainly benefits from air, and the left overs are in good shape the next day. An enjoyable wine, if partly let down by the tannins. vg-

(Barthod Ghislaine Chambolle-Musigny) Medium-plus ruby, the merest shade browner at the rim. The nose is deep with a little oak and sweet high toned fruit. The palate is also sweet and still a little marked by oak. The fruit is slightly cooked and doesn't have as much concentration as I would like. There's also fairly rough acidity and a grainy texture to the tannins. I don't think this bottle is out of condition. Considering that this is a wine I often buy, very disappointing.
