Chambertin Clos de Bèze, Vieilles Vignes--Vintage 2005
Domaine: Perrot-Minot
Tasting note : Perrot-Minot's 2005 Chambertin Clos de Beze Vieilles Vignes (from 50-year-old vines) leads with a jaw-dropping nose of cassis, licorice, citrus zest, black raspberry liqueur, wood smoke, and candied violets. In the mouth, this presents a smelted alliance of liqueur-like black fruit essence, saline minerality, and deep, roasted meatiness. A subtly oily, creamily-textured feel covers a wealth of refined tannins. For all of its sheer finishing, distilled-fruit intensity and grip, this never neglects the first duty of wine - to refresh - and displays gravity-defying lift as it heads down the runway and takes off for a spectacularly long, high-flying finish of utmost clarity and replete with nuances. Plan on following this wine - should you be so lucky as to latch onto a bottle - for at least 15-20 years. 99-100 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 170 (Apr 2007)
