Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir

Great nose and a little funk. Loved it

2000 vintage. Was very good on day one. Drank half. Totally blew us away on day 2. SINGING!!! Has at least 5 more yrs.

C'est un grand cru de damoy qu'on retrouve dans son style assez sudiste, bien épaulée sans négliger le fruit du pinot. Après un nez prometteur aux arômes de cassis bien qu un peu fermé on est emballé par ma bouche jusqu a la finale un peu verte, sèche qui aurait pu nous emmener très loin. C'est bon mais cela l a été encore plus sur d'autres millesimes

Almost perfect ruby gorgeous.

1998

Big time Burgundy funk. Rich and dark. The other side of elegant and see through.

2001

Had the same wine a few weeks ago. Both bottles acquired @ Chambers.
First one was very dissapointing (past its peak). This one was absolutelly different, except the nose (both pretty much closed).
Dry tanins, followed by a dark fruit profile which turned, unexpectdlly, into a very nice sour cherry. Something impossible to happen in my mind when compared to the previous bottle.
The amount of acidity and tanins, along with such incredible fruit transformation, makes me think about buying another one and keept it for 10 years.

13,5%
Sweet oak on the nose.
Austere dark fruit profile.
Very disappointing on the palate. Noticeable rough edges.
Very different from the outstanding 2007 I had a year ago.
