Philippe Pacalet, Chambolle Musigny 1er cru 2009

By

Expected .. but failed .. the Philippe Pacalet, Chambolle Musigny 1er cru is to be honest slightly tired already. The fruit is still drinking quite well, but the fundmental question is however .. did this wine show better two five years ago? And yes it did – and it should have been drunk – even before the 2008 a few years back..

(Drink Now) – Good (85 – 86p) – Tasted 18/07/2018
