Chambertin, Clos de Bèze Grand Cru--Vintage 2005
Côte de Nuits. French-bottled: Louis Jadot
Tasting note: Deep black cherry, charred meatiness, rose and licorice give away the identity of Jadot's 2005 Chambertin Clos de Bèze. Firm tannins and mouth-filling but bitter black cherry fruit, along with black licorice, wet stones, smoky black tea and Latakia tobacco feature on the palate, and there is a savage grip in the the finish. This lacks the refinement and elegance of many of the best 2005s from this great site, but bids fair to make up for this in sheer intensity and mysteriously complex depth. Here is a potentially ageless wine that doesn't merely typify the dark side of 2005, but is a veritable Darth Vader of the vintage. (93-95 points). David Schildknecht, Wine Advocate #171, June 2007
