  Tasted blind. At first lots of tertiary notes and it took a good hour to open up. The exuded sour cherries, sous bois and hinted towards a classic Burgundy. Very tough tannins on the palate, too time to soften up, nice acidity and fruit. A very good showing, needs decanting if you’re opening a pristine bottle.

  Sixpenny with the GMs: Charcoal, coffee, meat and red cherries. Has texture and good savoury flavour. Pulls back a bit with time in the glass. Probably not living up to expectations but still a good glass of wine.

  Opened at Emily Yeoh, Paddington. This wine was opened 8 beforehand and slow-boxed for 3 hours before serving. It has a clear cherry red colour with some pink-brown at the edges and a nose of red cherry, redcurrant, wild strawberry, limestone and hedgerow. The palate has a lovely poise between the red fruits and limestone /mineral elements and a touch of spice on the finish. There is a fine balance again between the fresh fruit and the more mature savoury notes that make this wine fine drinking.

  Tasted blind. Very extracted, concentrated and brooding. Lots of dark fruit, earty notes. More like a St.Estephe than a Burgundy. I was guessing Dugat Py. Not surprized it was Ghislaine Barthod, she often gets the tannin mgmt wrong. I much prefer the gentle, feminine Francois Bertheaud or Remoissenet style when I am drinking Chambolle. Chambollle should be Chambolle, not St.Estephe.

  More of an intellectual wine than hedonist. Mineral, on the austere side despite the presence of the fruit. Raspberry, brambly, earthy. Some rustic tannins.
  I liked it a lot but this definitely needs food to go along.
