IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS

A touch of barrel toast on the nose. Medium dense bright purple. This is succulent fine, medium bodied, with lovely elegance, and great persistence.  It’s quite a dense Chambolle, with smoky oak notes on the nose, a hint of meaty reduction and the structure and fruit weight to mature in bottle. 

The effect of the new barrel is evident even though the nose is firmly reduced. The supple and attractively velvet-textured flavors exude a lovely bead of minerality on the lacy and racy finish where notes of both wood and mocha arise. Not surprisingly this is noticeably marked by its wood but it appears to have the intrinsic stuffing to eventually absorb.
