  Pale, translucent garnet. Nose of sweet red cherry and some spice. Sweet candyfloss sorta palate, but light. Good acid balance that makes it juicy. Good, fun to drink, but lacks complexity and depth.

  Medium-light garnet. Expressive nose of red fruit with spicy oak, a touch of funk, subtle and complex. Light and elegant on the palate, a pleasure to drink, very Musigny, light mid mouth presence, spicy finish. Nice wine for food, always asking for the next sip.

  Good nose. Perfumed and intense. What a beautiful chambolle nose! Sweet and smooth on entry with slightly dry mid-palate. Spicy and long finish. Very good balance of dark and red fruits. Notes of spicy stem, violet, wet earth, and oak. Fresh acidity level typical of this vintage but has enough of tannins and fruits to balance out nicely. Label indicated 13.5% alcohol with slight warmth at finish. Beautiful and harmonious wine to drink now and have structure and length to last for a while. On the 2nd day, slightly sharper finish with more prominent acidity and tannins. On the 3rd day, additional notes of herbal jelly and licorice and better balance. Production is around 1,100 bottles. 91-94 pts.

  Masterclass - Domaine Faiveley with Master of Wine, Lisa Perotti-Brown (St-Regis Hotel): This wine immediately grab my attention and attracted me which it's sexy aromas, yes, SEXY was the immediate impression and this is absolutely a Chambolle. Wasn't expect the nose has so much to offer and expressive for a mere 3yrs old wine. Deep and highly aromatic with pure cherry, violet with background of forest floor, with times, added more complexity with coffee notes, a real charmer by the elegant nose itself. The palate is quite ready to drink too though the structure is there, and the finely-grained tannin along with high, ripe acidity well-balance by pure, ripe cherry fruits that is intense, with good grip and showing good complexity already. Finished long and spicy. At last a nice btl that offer good finesse which others wines doesn't offer. Buy - No (Again, a really well made Chambolle, just the price.....)

  Simply Wines - Dry Rieslings and Bedrock Syrahs (+ others!) (Artisan Cellars, Palais Renaissance): Quite lovely. An archetypal Chambolle. Very nice nose, really pretty and perfumed, with floating strawberry scents, nice whiffs of sappy morello cherries, an undertone of earth and woody stems, and just lots of floaty florals, all accented with toasty oak. I thought the palate was rather weaker than nose would lead one to expect. The fruit was really pretty, though, with flowers and sweet red cherries wafting around vanilla-oak notes, and just little lines of mineral streaming quietly underneath. Great purity and lovely balance, so that everything came across light and high-toned. Just that it all seemed just a bit buried in the sweet oak at the moment. Otherwise, a real seductive wine, light in terms of body and texture, maybe lacking the weight of better vintages, but still nicely mouthfilling in a beautifully perfumy way. Silky tannins seemed quite a departure from old-school Faiveley, but it really suited the wine. Nice length on the finish too, which was still replete with toasty vanillin notes. Should develop nicely over the next few years, although I am not entirely convinced this is one for the very long term. Nevertheless, I am sure the rather overt oak will drop somewhat with time, and this should give great pleasure over the better part of the next decade or so.
