Incredibly good for a basic. What a surprise - there's now a gorgeous top note of strawberry to the Maraschino aroma and the palate shows the Chambolle profile of delicacy yet elegance. Of course, it didn't hold up in the glass forlong, but this would make a believer out of anyone in the beauty of well made basic red burgundy.

(Barthod Ghislaine Bourgogne) Just a little darker in colour. The nose goes darker and deeper; a hint riper and no cedar but clearly a few diffuse alcoholic overtones. In the mouth it’s fuller with an edge more tannin and acidity that is slightly tart - it’s not a problem, just it’s personality. On the back of the acidity is a little burst of intensity on the mid-palate before fading into the finish. Less smooth than the 2001 but more material. I look forward to making another comparison in a few years.

Bright acidity dominates carrying the cherry fruit. Elements of soil, smoke and leather. Nicely precise and mature.

Another good showing, Ripe cherries, earthy, and good acidity for a nicely balanced wine.
