  Observations similaires à juin 2017.
  Excellent.
  Note complémentaire : Bu sur 4 heures, le meilleur fut entre la 1ère et la 3ième heure; trop fermé au début, puis une certaine aigreur prenait de plus en plus de place dans la dernière heure environ.
  Notre dernière.

  Oeil : légèrement trouble, coloration 3/10, léger orangé en auréole, forte viscosité en parois
  Nez : projection d'intensité 3/10, comme retenu, superbe présence aromatique par ailleurs et qui a atteint son plein vol après environ 90 minutes d'aération, alors sur un fruit rouge frais, très floral (domine), boisé noble qui se fond tranquillement, quelques épices ayant un petit côté anisé qui nous a surpris, végétal, très beau
  Bouche : sec, ample, acidité rafraîchissante, amertume moyenne+, tanins charnus à souples, fins, persistance moyenne-longue, rétro en finesse, très florale, fruitée, anisée, boisée, épicée
  Conclusion : encore superbe, il nous a malgré tout moins impressionné qu'en 2014, comme s'il était en phase ingrate ou en déclin...(?)
  Grand plaisir malgré tout!
  92-91?

  Lively crisp ruby colour. Nose of roses cherry garden scents some spice some cola, also sweaty grippy stones. Quite salty but a lovely play of sweet fruit and salty wood notes. Silky structure and light tannins that carry on the salty fruit.

  Very light crystalline colour. Porky meaty notes. Light and supple cool feel with minty flavours. Delicate but not quite as fragrant as a usual Chambolle.

  Interestingly I had this more than 3 years ago. Looking at the notes, seems like there wasn't much difference. I still couldn't pinpoint this as Chambolle when blinded! My guess was Vosne villages actually. Good freshness from the tingling mint feeling on the palate rather than acidity. I believe this is what Thibault told me before on how he crafts freshness in his wines. Very good but not particularly distinguished.
