2010 and still very very young. Doesn’t mean not enjoyable. Opulent cranberry and tart bing cherry. Loads of forest floor. Very powerful aromas. More than I’m used to with Barthod. Palate is still tight and needs air. After a while it really starts to sing. Amazing wine. Want to taste in another decade. — 3 years ago

We bought when put to market and stored all these years. Truly good stuff. Complex and dense in spades. If one thing, mrs Barthod does very masculine wines we think. They tend to lack the delicate side of Chambolle. — a month ago
Cherries, vanilla, potpourri, spice and a bit of smoke on the nose. Palate still has a bit of oak sheen initially then opens up and integrates after a couple hours of air, dominated by tart red fruit (cherry, pomegranate, and framed by wood smoke, clove, licorice, dried leaves, and a slightly astringent finish that makes the palate water. Elegant, very chambolle, plenty of structure for the long haul — 9 months ago

Reticent nose but generous palate. Punching above its class, give it air and an hour. - at Frenchy’s Hideout in Hillcrest — 3 days ago
