Chambertin, Clos de Bèze Grand Cru--Vintage 2005
Côte de Nuits. Domaine-bottled: Armand Rousseau
Tasting note: The 2005 Chambertin Clos de Bèze offers alluring aromas of liquorice, mint, vanilla, plum paste, cherry preserves and rose petals, and seduces the palate with silky, incredibly refined texture and several octaves of fruit, herbal, floral and mineral notes, leading to a reverberative finish in which fruit pit and stony, chalky elements lend a sense of dark, weighty authority and an umami-like, meaty savour promotes uncontrollable salivation. No layering or mixing of metaphors can hope to do justice to the layering and concatenation of flavors on display. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 170, April 2007
