My continuing quest to taste as many 22’s as possible.
This leans into 93.
The nose shows, ruby, slightly candied mid to dark fruits. Dark cherries, cooked strawberries, blackberries, black raspberries and raspberry hues on the glass edges. Flowers that are soft, dark, red flowers with violets.
The palate reveals ripe to just a touch syrupy; dark cherries, blackberries, cooked strawberries and black raspberries. Clove, nutmeg, soft cinnamon & vanillin with deep, dark spice, melted caramel, barrel shavings, dry tobacco w/ some ash, lightly grilled meats, limestone marls, dry herbs, dry stone & topsoil, light forest floor w/ dry leaves, brilliant dark red flowers famed in liquid violets, rainfall acidity with a balanced, well made, nicely tensioned, elegant finish that last ninety seconds falling into dry stone and spice.
This will require about 7 years in the cellar and last 20 years properly stored.
At $159, priced fairly in today’s Burgundy market, which has soared. — 2 months ago
No notes, opened too early but clearly has a long way to go. However great Burgundy Pinot Noir and have a few more to see how it develops. — 3 months ago
Much more fleshy and textured than other bottles. Very nice but not really identifiable as Chambolle - doesn’t have that lifting ethereal quality. Still delicious. — 3 years ago
Tons of darker red fruit on the nose and palate with almost a chewy mouthfeel. Hints of cocoa which I would not have expected and almost had a slightly new world feel to it on the nose. 2016 is a really fruit forward and easy drinking year! — 5 years ago
