This too evidenced a hint of reduction that almost immediately dissipated. Otherwise, a background touch of wood highlights an expressive and impressively nuanced nose of red berry fruit that displays a broad range of spice and earth note. At present, this is really very backward though there is very good richness to the full-bodied and quite serious flavors that possess plenty of mid-palate extract that renders the dense but fine tannins almost invisible on the moderately austere and superbly long finish. This knockout Bèze has the balance and material to effortlessly improve over the next 12 to 15 years.
Medium red. Multidimensional nose offers red fruits, menthol, smoked ham and wild herbs. Silky and tactile but classically dry. This showy, glyceral wine comes across as almost weightless, thanks to a powerful impression of smoky minerality. With aeration this very long and savory wine showed a compelling deep sweetness. But I wouldn't go near a bottle for at least eight years.
A background touch of wood highlights an expressive and impressively nuanced nose of red berry fruit that evidences a broad range of spice and earth notes, both of which continue onto the very backward, rich, full-bodied and quite serious flavors that possess plenty of mid-palate extract that renders the dense but fine tannins almost invisible. This has the balance and material to improve for the next 12 to 15 years.
