Tasting Notes

Big, rich, intense and robust aromas explode from the glass and lead to intense, full-bodied, and impressively scaled and dense flavors all wrapped in a wonderfully velvet finish. To be sure, this is no where near ready nor is it a cuddly wine as the structure and power suggest that this will very much take its sweet time coming around. That said, there is so much underlying material that I suspect it could surpass the incredible '96. This will evolve slowly and over many years.

Score: 94

Displaying a bright, dark color and huge aromas of Pinot fruit, smoky oak and rocks, the Chambertin has a massive, deeply spicy, sweet, very thick, super-complex palate with sauteed bacon notes. Tannic, extremely tight and stunning, this backward wine will reach its peak between 2007-2020. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. The wine was tasted from cask, not bottle. Pinot Noir, a fragile varietal, reacts poorly to fining, filtration, and careless bottling techniques, I recommend caution when considering buying a red burgundy based on cask samples. I called it as I tasted it, and hope the bottled wine reflects the quality of the samples I was provided.

Score: 92 - 95
