Chambertin Clos de Bèze, Grand Cru, Armand Rousseau 1996

Côte de Nuits, Burgundy
Colour

"Like the same wine in 750 ml, initially mild reduction knocks down the expressiveness of the otherwise pure, pretty, notably fresh and exquisitely complex aromas of secondary dark fruit, spices and earth, indeed this is positively kaleidoscopic in breadth. The still moderately tannic, sappy, intense and equally complex flavors deliver a refined mouth feel on the notably vibrant, explosive and gorgeously long finish that displays just a hint of dryness that will probably eventually dissipate though that is not a given, particularly given the large format bottling. As such my score offers the benefit of the doubt in this regard. As to drinkability as one might reasonably assume with the magnum format this is nowhere near ready and I would not be inclined to touch this for at least another 10 years and 15 wouldn't surprise me."
