CHAMBERTIN, PAUL BOUCHARD 1961: The nose was very complex with lots and lots of different fruit beyond the plummy cassis that I always associate with Burgundies. The taste was assertive and powerful with the fruit promised by the nose as well as a hint of flowers. A wine of great breed whose massive sweet fruit seemed to linger for ever (sic) on the tongue leaving perhaps a hint of roses as it faded away. I scored it 5+ in every category hence the extraordinary 20++++. The best wine of the evening.
