Chambolle Musigny Combottes 1er Cru 2010

Good full, deep red. Redcurrant, smoke and tobacco on the nose; not a black fruit style. Lush and broad but less sweet and showy than the Clos de la Bussiere today. Possesses good vinosity but not quite the high notes I'd expect to find in a vintage like 2010. Boasts good finesse and noteworthy breadth in the middle palate but the tannins are a bit youthfully edgy.

Score: 91
