Opened this expecting a bigger, riper young Chambolle after some of the other '09s I've had, but this was remarkably delicate and elegant. There's a lovely fragrance combining a basket of incredibly fresh red fruits and berries with bright floral elements and sweet baking spices, a sense of real freshness and lightness in the mouth and it's wonderful to drink now with the tannins very fine grained and the acidity keeping it very light and lively. Great stuff.
