Medium deep garnet, ruby core with medium light garnet rim . This is quite meaty and deep on the nose , with earthy dark cherry , porcini , sweet blackberry and spiced sous bois . On the palate this is quite severe and serious , darker fruits , ripe blackberry , cherry and hint of blackcurrant, herbal hints. Quite gritty , slightly drying tannins , fresh acidity . Earthy , dusty dark cherry edged finish , ok medium length. Quite ambitious for a village and arguably not ready yet , tannins need a little more time to integrate. From now and over the next 5 years, if not longer . — 4 months ago

A little farmyardy on opening, but still some pleasure in this forgotten oldie from the cellar when it opened up… — 8 months ago
Initial aromas of oak which largely blew off with air. Savoury red fruits. Almost palate staining in its intensity A rich generous palate with great persistence. Combottes is literally surrounded by Grand Crus in Clos de la Roche, Latricieres Chambertin, and Charmes Chambertin. Had this a week ago with Duck. One of the 1001 Wines. My son, who works in New York bought this at Sotheby’s for me and brought it home in December 2013 for Christmas of that year. — 2 months ago

Gift from wife’s French client. The cork was saturated and crumbled, didn’t have much hope, but the nose revealed bright red fruit, some potpourri, alongside the tertiary mushroom and dried leaves you’d assume. The palate reflected this with sour cherry, strawberry, orange peel, and a hint of mushroomy cola. Lots of fine sediment. Very enjoyable. — 4 months ago

2001 vintage. Not decanted. Nice fill and cork. Youthful nose of eucalyptus/spearmint and orange peel. Medium-medium heavy body. Just so fresh. Tasted more like a 3-4 year old Burg instead of a 24 yo one. Excellent length of finish filled with sandalwood/tree bark, clove, cinnamon and raspberry. This specimen needed another 15-20 years to “grow up.” 05.28.25. — 6 months ago

Pure and dense. Lean and focused. Black pepper, garrigue, gnarly fruit. Hints of iodine and tang. Still young — 2 months ago
