Absolutely outstanding. Long finish, cherries, raspberries, forest floor, bit Smokey. Delicious now, keep some bottles for within 5 to 10 years

2003 was a year of extremes in Burgundy, with spring frosts and crippling heatwaves later in the summer, so how did the Lucien le Moine Chambertin-Clos de Bèze fare? Extremely well. Penetrating aromas of cherry and black raspberry, dried leaves, forest floor, woodspice, and anise lead into firm structure and a brooding, sensual intensity. Mineral notes, exotic spice, and black tea add dimension. My only criticism is that the finish is slightly short, and it is a touch more advanced than expected.

Deep dark cherry and a bi of fresh vine on the nose, not quite as generous on the palate with a little bitterness on the finish.
