Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru Pinot Noir

Funky when first opened but blew off. Currant, white pepper, spice , shaving cream(?), jerky, perfect acid. Well balanced I love this wine.

Holy Pinot. Amazing. Perfect right now.

Perfumed elegance and power wonderful bottle that has exceeded expectations !

Showing good ripeness and a nice earth component. I'd say fully mature.

2002 vintage. Last tasted 12.10.23. Rated that a 9.1. Decanted and tasted multiple times over the course of 1.5 hours. That great silvery color upon decanting. Infinitesimal sed. Still, the big orange peel flavors but better harmony and balance than the previous specimen two months ago. Bottle was in great shape. 2.4.24.

2002 vintage. Decanted and tasted throughout the course of 3 hours. A trace of sediment. Still fairly dark on the color. Good fill, good cork. Light-medium body. Nose had an aggressive orange zest/dried orange peel mixed with cinnamon and cherry nose for two hours that infiltrated the flavor profile. Eventually, a bit of cranberry and raspberry emerged as the prominent movers and shakers. Initially thought the wine to be a 9.0 but prettied up to a 9.1. Could just be "in transition" or not a top-notch bottle. Seemed to be potentially holding something back and got the feeling another bottle might show a little better. 12.9.23.

In beautiful place. Mystifying and amazing pinot.

Sappy brambly sweet red berries with moss and forest floor. Exquisite.

Smooth!
