Bright, dark red. Highly expressive tangy scents of cherry, wild strawberry, pomegranate, crushed stone and mint. Superrich, tactile, dense and chewy yet light on its feet. Conveys a powerful sense of dry extract and outstanding clarity and cut to its flavors of raspberry, cherry and minerals. The 2014 version shows riper, blacker fruits while this is more about acidulated wild red berries. Wonderfully silky, smooth wine with outstanding energy and thrust. The wine's powerful fruit blows past its refined tannins on the palate-staining finish. Splendid!

The 2013 Chambolle Musigny la Combe d’Orveaux offers a cheeky hint of truffle on the nose that is well defined, touches of flint coming through with time, quite complex and mercurial. The palate is nicely structured, a little more masculine, with an appealing grainy texture, fine mineralité and commendable precision on the finish. This is a neat ‘n' tidy Chambolle that should age well over 10-15 years.
