"Two-thirds of the vines were planted in 1912 and the remainder in 1973. Discreet wood influence surrounds the intensely spicy and earthy nose that is at once elegant yet animale and this sauvage character extends to the very rich, powerful and well-muscled flavors that possess a seductively textured yet firm finish of imposing length. This is a big but focused Bèze that has already begun to shut down. Patience will be required." Burghound.com, Jan 01, 2011 |
