Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir

IMO, 07 is ready! Love the layers upon layers that this wine offers. Light on the palate yet focus of fruit and purity. Great bottle.

On the young side- fairly tannic and tight. Fruits are there and full as well. I get a nose of red fruits, orange zest, and spices. Palate features those fruits with tar, damp earth and tannins kicking in. Pleasing but worth waiting.

At $315 a bottle it is a charmed experience. Beautiful but...

Lush. Perfumery. $298. Tension in the wine. Youthful.

Smoke em if you got em 06 is sexy right now

This was ready to go. To me it seemed a tad advanced.

Palate never quite matched up with the nose despite a good 30min decant. An absolute fruit and flower bomb on the nose.

Enjoyable. Easy to drink but doesn't have the fruit forward taste of a merlot, lacked the complexity of a good Bordeaux. If someone were to serve it I'd enjoy it, but wouldn't seek it out.

It's becoming clear to me that I need to drink more David Duband.
