"The 2008 Chambertin was made with two-thirds whole cluster this year, and it too is a brilliant wine in the making. The wine was a touch reduced when I tasted it in November, but underneath is a wine of immense complexity and breed. The bouquet is a very fine blend of black cherries, blood orange, great minerality, a touch of game, cocoa, woodsmoke and new wood. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and beautifully focused, with a rock solid core of fruit, ripe tannins, outstanding acids and exceptional length and grip on the very transparent and sophisticated finish. A great, great wine."
