I let this breathe up in the bowl for three hours. Tracked along the way. Rose water color. This tightened up over time. This shows cherry and sweet tart candy. Tart, puckery finish. Bright, 2008 acidity. Dry finish. This is not very generous at present, but it is very Chambolle with its laciness. The aromas and typicity are worth the tariff. The best is yet ahead. 90, with upside.

No formal notes (had at dinner). This was not a good showing of a Chambolle and from this particular, normally great vineyard. Nose was better than palate. Some florals, but oak was shining thru, with some spices. Plate was really lean and all about acidity, with some dirty oak present. Not enough fruit to balance the lean acid. 2008 in my book is a really great Burgundy vintage, but this disappoints.
