In a really great spot. Tart red berries, hint of spice and some wet forest floor. Layered and gets more complex as it sits in the glass. Excellent Chambolle-Musigny. — a month ago

A distributor friend brought this over. It was very tight and bitter when we first pulled the cork. Just let it sit for a while as we opened a couple of other bottles. Exactly what it needed. Red berries, spice and a lot of earthiness. Sort of Mondeuse/ Gamay like. Really enjoyed this bottle. — a month ago
