2004 Bouchard Pere & Fils - Chambertin Clos de Beze Pinot Noir - France - Burgundy - Cote de Nuits - Gevrey Chambertin - Red - Grand Cru

Tasting note: The aromatic profile here is completely different with more complexity to the gorgeous mix of red and black pinot fruit, earth, spice, underbrush, smoke, game and iron notes that continue onto the broad, expansive and remarkably intense flavors that culminate in an unusually ripe, mouth coating and long finish. There is admirably good extract here and while the firm tannic spine will require at least a decade to really unwind, the mid-palate concentration is up to the challenge. In sum, this is one striking effort that exudes class. Tasted: Apr 01, 2006 Score: 93-95 Drink: 2016+ - Comments: Don't miss!
