DOMAINE ARMAND ROUSSEAU CHAMBERTIN CLOS DE BÈZE 1996
Côte de Nuits. Grand Cru Classé
u. 1 cm. scraped label.
The 1996 Chambertin Clos de Beze, here tasted blind, has wonderful delineation on the nose that displays a slightly ferrous scent that becomes accentuated with time. Later, there are suggestions of oxtail and briary. The palate is medium-bodied and is at full maturity, There is an autumnal haze around this Clos de Beze, with a leathery finish that demonstrates good persistency, if not nearly the class of the Chambertin '96. I would drink this over the next decade. October 2014 WA 93
