This dark ruby colored wine possesses complex aromas of delicate flowers immersed in blackberries, cassis, earth, minerals, and smoky oak. If readers expect all Chambolles to be delicate, lace-like wines, then they are in for a surprise with this powerful, extracted, concentrated and intense offering. This black fruit, mineral, gravel-flavored, and medium-to-full-bodied beauty is impressive because of its focused, exuberant character, and is not without finesse. Drink it between 2002 and 2010.
