The Chapelle Chambertin isn't ready to offer up all of its charms just yet. Tobacco, game, dark red fruit and smoke are some of the notes that open up in the glass, but the elements aren't fully put together yet. Today the 2011 is a bit rough around the edges, yet it nevertheless possesses considerable depth as well as personality.
Dark crimson. Rather an oaky liqueur really. Not fine but dense and delivers. Not for purists but will do. (JR)
This is even riper yet the nose remains fresh and cool with dense and layered dark berry fruit, spice and soft earth aromas. There is excellent concentration to the extract-rich medium weight plus flavors that exhibit controlled power on the refined and palate coating finish. This balanced effort offers excellent length and a real sense of harmony. Tasted: Jan 15, 2014. Drink: 2023+
