There is just enough reduction to mask the underlying fruit but not the floral and spice nuances

The body is full and brooding confirming the tannins are built for years to come

An extremely ripe yet remarkably nuanced and highly complex nose features earthy and spicy fresh red pinot fruit

is going to need a long stay in a cool cellar to fully resolve the supporting structure

Anne Gros, Chambolle Musigny Combe d'Orveau other_regions_australia There is just enough reduction(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+
