Very deep, extracted red color, edged with purple; the color reminds us of the 2003s. A little reduced on the nose: red berry confiture, cinnamon, wood resin. Cordial-like. And quite oaky. Go underneath and the expression is more limpid: fullish, fresh; a touch dense but sumptuous. Good, ripe tannins (grape-driven, not oak tannins … fortunately!). This has nice grip and energetic acidity too. A powerful Chambolle. Now – 2020.
