Robert Parker Wine Advocate Neal Martin - 30 Nov 14
Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Cras ‘11 has an understated, graceful bouquet that unfolds in the glass: black cherries, sous-bois, cranberry leaf and wet stone scents. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, good acidity and cohesion, but backward and almost surly on the finish, demanding that you don’t come back for two or three years at least. Good potential, so bunker this down for three or four years and it will surely blossom.

(12.6% after chaptalization): Medium red. Dark berries, licorice and a peppery note on the nose. Concentrated and youthfully tight, with a distinctly pungent quality to its pomegranate flavor. Has power and thrust for a moderately ripe wine. Best today on the juicy finish, which mounts slowly and builds well. This needs at least six or seven years of cellaring.

Firm and fine with lots of fruit and structure and a bit of tannin but quite enough fruit to trump it. Remarkably, this tastes more Barthod than 2011. (JR)
