DOMAINE ARMAND ROUSSEAU CHAMBERTIN CLOS DE BÈZE 2005
Côte de Nuits. Grand Cru Classé
u. 1 cm. scuffed label. scraped capsule
The 2005 Chambertin Clos de Beze offers alluring aromas of licorice, mint, vanilla, plum paste, cherry preserves and rose petals, and seduces the palate with silky, incredibly refined texture and several octaves of fruit, herbal, floral and mineral notes, leading to a reverberative finish in which fruit pit and stony, chalky elements lend a sense of dark, weighty authority and an umami-like, meaty savor promotes uncontrollable salivation. No layering or mixing of metaphors can hope to do justice to the layering and concatenation of flavors on display. April 2007 WA (96-98)
