A classic Charmes

but a moderate Cheval Blanc is the right way to state things here

Anne Gros, Chambolle Musigny Combe d'Orveau other_regions_italy rich and long(50% new oak). This displayed both fairly strong toast and heavy reduction last year from barrel and while the toast is almost completely gone, there is still a trace of reduction which leads to somber, backward and rich middle weight flavors that possess good volume and fine length with a mouth coating backend. There is good freshness and this is relatively fine for the vintage. I would suggest decanting it first. 87 2008+
