Bright, dark red. Distinctly cooler on the nose than the Clos de Bèze, displaying classic Chambertin scents of black cherry, dried flowers, earth, game and crushed rock. A youthfully reserved wine with great refinement of texture and inner-mouth perfume to its flavors of raspberry, spices and minerals complicated by wild hints of leather and game. A seamless Chambertin of great nobility but the Clos de Bèze is more impressive today. Finishes with outstanding rising length and grip, the firm tannins in perfect balance with the wine's mid-palate material. Will this surpass the Clos de Bèze in the long run? I hope I'm around to find out.- Stephen Tanzer (03/2017)
