The 2004 Joseph Roty Griottes Chambertin 750 ml is from the Griottes Chambertin region of Burgundy.
A completely different aromatic profile here with much more elegant and higher-toned red fruit aromas though not much wood to the hugely sappy flavors that completely drench the palate in pinot extract. This is delicious, well made and offers excellent tannin/fruit/acid balance though the wood sticks out on the finish at present. My score again offers the benefit of doubt and here there is less risk that it won't integrate simply because the dry extract level is really impressive. BH
Good full red. Inviting, expressive nose features dark cherry, licorice, iron, black pepper and roasted herbs. Dense and sappy; less powerful than the Mazis but intense, sappy and aromatic, with excellent lift from the pepper and spice elements. The Rotys carried out a green harvest here, but not in their Charmes-Chambertin parcel. Finishes with excellent length. I love this bracing style. Very 2004 but in need of patience.- Stephen Tanzer (03/2007)
