Elegant old world beauty. Mid intense aroma of pure red berry, azuki, touch of umami and earth. Dry, elegant mid acidity and mid tannin. Need much more time.

Well a little early and just invested a ton in inventory so had to open a bottle to see the big deal. Well it certainly is rich and dense. Loads of fruit with an amazing frame of structure that will go 10 to 20 with no effort.

Still primal and all fruit. Olivier have this to me in Beaune and Uniates I try it. Much more potential in the years to come

The new hotness. I always fall for the Chambolles- the 2013 was my fave of the lineup! 13s from Bernstein are very accessible and juicy despite the tough vintage.

Youthful that can be approached now with its balance, rich dark fruit & spice

Had to open 3hrs+ ahead of our dinner and by the end it was really starting to show the expressive fruit and shake off some of the tightness. Berries on berries on berries with a hint of spice at the end.

A very good wine with intense dark cherry followed by secondary and tertiary of black tea, coffee, coco and toasted wood. Tannins are ripe and soft. Silky on the palate. Long finish. Just a little more complexity would have made this even better.
