This was fascinating to follow as it changed over the 9+ hours from decanting to the last drop. Initially funky and volatile, it turned hard and ferric, dried out with no fruit around two hours in. Then gradually opening up, with sweet dark berry fruit, leather and a ferric frame. Over the ensuing hours blood and game, iron, earth, and rosemary/minty notes came and went in a changing constellation of flavors. Still delicious on the last drop, showing a little tannic grip despite 40 years of age. Thanks to Chambers Street Wine for the great recommendation. — a month ago
Lovely stuff. A darker fruited expression of Chambolle w a touch of spice, as one would expect from this vineyard’s position above Bonnes Mares. Can’t wait to crack some Barthod’s Les Véroilles 1er when they hit 10. — 2 months ago
Love this vintage. This was showing a little younger and firmer than the last bottle I tasted in 2018. But still deep, complex, and delicious. — a month ago
