I clearly underestimated the ability of the '01 Chambertin to eat the very generous wood as well as it has. The explosive, spicy, earthy, intense red and black fruit nose complements perfectly the deep, broad, muscular and beautifully intense flavors that culminate in a rich and mouth coating finish of superb length. This is a classically styled, masculine and mineral-driven Chambertin with plenty of finishing power plus outstanding length. While this could be drunk now with pleasure, it's indisputably still on its way up and I would be inclined to give in another 6 to 10 years in the cellar first. In a word, impressive. Try from 2015+
