Black-fruited beast showing cassis, tobacco, licorice, mint leather and big broad tannins. Sappy, liquer-like mouthfeel on the mid palate. Very masculine expression of Chambolle, displaying some edgy and youthful vigor.

I picked this bottle up and put it down trying to decide if tonight was a special-enough occasion. In the end, glad I leaned this way. Perfectly mature, and better than.my past btl from a bit over a year ago. Helped to warm up a couple of degrees above cellar temp. On the nose: damp earth, floral perfume, touch of brown sugar, black raspberry, tea leaves, asian spice...a panoply of flavors. On the palate, lovely acidity, tart cherry, great density, hi-toned wild strawberry, mineral notes, sea salt..fantastic complexity. Tannin still showing grip on the finish, but this is perfect aged red burg for my palate.

Thought the vintage would show a bit more but felt a bit closed and tight. Decanted it which helped some of the flavors show better but felt maxed out early.
