Chambertin Clos de Bèze (0.75 L)

(40% whole clusters). While not quite as aromatically complex as the GE, it’s close as this also features a panoply of spice elements along with exceptionally fresh and dense red currant, violet and plum aromas. Interestingly the mouth feel of the middle weight flavors is super-fine, indeed almost lilting and delicate, with a relatively pliant if sneaky long finish. This is lovely if a bit atypical.
