Chambertin Pinot Noir

Well kept but not in great condition. The top of the cork was slightly sunken and shrunken. The color was garnet and clear. The nose was fully mature showing oxidative notes and dried red cherry. Honey, apricot, mushroom, dried roses, and dead leaves. The heat of the #1947 vintage really came through with lots of warmth and body. Little tannin with some acid. A sweet core of faint red fruit, coco, and vegetation. Faded finish. An interesting wine for sure. #chambertin #josephdrouhin #burgundy #pinotnoir #ctbucklinwine

Tasted more like drouhin and less like chambertin. Rather simple for the pedigree but still very enjoyable

VA on the nose showing the hot vintage but still alive!!!! A very sweet and dynamic palate with stewed red fruit, an intact structure, and very earthy characteristics. This wine became better for about an hour and then slowly faded away. #chambertin #josephdrouhin #1934

1978. Thanks Ron!

30 year old burgundy = entering into the mysteries of the universe. Not so interesting upon opening. Like seeing the face of god at around minute 45. Mostly vinegar at 90 minutes. Old school Swiss-alpine cuisine at The Post making it that much better.

Soft front with rises and ripe dark cherry. Lovely resolved mid palate and decent length

Delicious burg, great balance, mineral, medium plus acidity, cherries, wet forest leafs, red brick color... amazing

So fine

1978
