A big surprise tonight. Nose is deep with sweet dark fruit, herbs and violets. Palate has lots of stuffing with vibrant sweet purple fruit. The wine keeps evolving and improving. The finish is very long. An excellent chambolle 1er Cru that is very classic. It is starting to drink well but certainly can age for many more years.

A leaner style than the 2002 Groffier "Les Amoureuses" served on the same flight. However, a great wine that has shed enough tannins to be starting to drink well. Focused, nice depth, built in the glass, nice acidity, mid plateau, impressive. Should drink well for at least another 5 years.

PNP. Cork perfect. Color bricking. Nose w chocolate and cherries and some sous bois. Swishing showed this was very dense and oaky to start. Lots of tannin and acid leading to tart finish. When sipped this is richer and smooth but does get a little stemmy on the medium length finish. Even with more time in the glass this did not budge much except to take on a stewed vegetal aroma. have to wonder if it got heat damaged somewhere along the line, because I have had this before and it was delightful.

Great fruit, dark, a little earthy, velvet texture, long, maybe lacking a bit in complexity.
