Tasting notes

Light brown-red colour. The nose shows considerable amount of oak. Evolved notes, but still oak. Hints of leather, animal fur, vanilla. Light hints of red berries. No Chambolle-character. Fullbodied Chambolle in the mouth. Fine concentration, but again too much oak-notes. Dill, vanilla, animal fur. More in common with an old-fashioned Rioja than a Chambolle. Decent acidity and still tannins showing in the finish. Lots of life here. Untypical and - to be objective - not successfull.
