Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A very pure nose of wet stone, spice and an elegant mix of various wild red berries. There is good richness to the mouth coating flavors that possess excellent volume and surprisingly good power, all wrapped in a mineral-driven finish that delivers excellent length. This is a big Chambolle and an..

"Relatively strong reduction hides all but the spice and wood toast notes. By contrast there is good volume and mid-palate concentration to the well-delineated, intense and seductively textured flavors that are supported by firm and reasonably refined tannins on the dusty and moderately austere..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
