Tapped this beast on Corbin and I had to go more than 2/3 down the bottle, maybe fifth glass in five separate sessions, before it started to open up. lots of everything, mostly ripe and thickly layered black fruit that takes a long time to unwind. When I finally does, then it starts giving room to a bit of tobacco, leather, maybe even graphite, medium acidity, and a touch of bitterness, coupled with medium grained fruit driven tannins.  — 23 days ago

Stellar. Tasted a bit over the hill at first (just a touch of raisination) but the color and tannin are from a 2015 or thereabouts. It’s continually developing. Black tea, xmas spice, black cherry, cacao nib but really dark, idk if descriptors do it justice honestly. Was worried cause of vintage/storage/reviews but this is hitting. Btw idk if delectable has it right but it’s the Michel Bonnefond bottling made by Roumier. Texture is honestly seductive — 5 years ago
Plum and strawberry. Berry pie and lifted red floral notes and pretty edges. Sophisticated and pure. — 6 hours ago
Medium ruby; heady nose of savory red and dark fruits with baking spices and a touch of pepper; palate is concentrated and full with plenty of extract and zesty acidity, dusty tannins add body. Enjoyable tonight but only if needs must. — a month ago

2025 vintage. Old Grenache and Carignan vines (40-80 years) with younger (under 25 years) Syrah. The latter make up 50% of the blend. A juicy, fresh fruit bomb with a spicy finish. An. 13,5%. Good value. — 12 days ago

2013 vintage. Courtesy of @Pinotman /// Andreas. Opened with a perfect cork and decanted. Tasted over the course of 1.25 hours. Decided power and focus. Any Chambolle subtleties mostly lost here as this was still über-focused on setting a personal best. Ridic delish tho. Thinking it needs another 5-7 years to drop (some of) the power chords but this producer is always going to come across as too forward and in your face-without oak stylings. 11.13.26. — a day ago
