Well kept but not in great condition. The top of the cork was slightly sunken and shrunken. The color was garnet and clear. The nose was fully mature showing oxidative notes and dried red cherry. Honey, apricot, mushroom, dried roses, and dead leaves. The heat of the #1947 vintage really came through with lots of warmth and body. Little tannin with some acid. A sweet core of faint red fruit, coco, and vegetation. Faded finish. An interesting wine for sure. #chambertin #josephdrouhin #burgundy #pinotnoir #ctbucklinwine
