"Profound aromas of chocolate, blackberries, black cherries, and spices are found in the nose of the 2003 Chambertin-Clos de Beze (from a 45-55-year old parcel). A huge, exceptionally deep wine, its potent core of black cherry fruit is highly expressive and massively concentrated. Well-balanced, it reveals immense complexity, staying power, and an exceptionally long finish studded with copious quantities of ripe tannin. Projected maturity: 2012-2022." -Robert Parker
Medium ruby; extravagantly sweet nose; superripe blackberry aroma. Wonderfully detailed; delicate, layered liqueur flavors of blackberry, violet, minerals, chocolate. Fine tannins, explosive persistence.
Tanzer Review:
Bright, deep red. Superripe yet vibrant and perfumed aromas of black raspberry, rose petal and minerals. Very ripe and highly concentrated creamy yet firm, thanks to powerful underlying structure. A wine of great energy, density and soil character, and an infant today. Finishes with outstanding palatestaining persistence and a slightly saline quality. This should evolve spectacularly for at least 15 to 20 years. A great wine in the making.
