Moderate oak influence combines with brooding but exceptionally pretty and very spicy dark berry and plum aromas that dissolve into the rich, sweet and sappy flavors that possess so much extract that there's a chewy but not inelegant quality to the intense and linear finish where a hint of menthol surfaces. This isn't rustic but it knocks on the door of it. Still, I found this very ripe beauty to be most impressive and it should reward amply 10 to 15 years of patience.

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
2005 in Burgundy is a legendary vintage from a near-ideal, dry growing season; both reds and whites are concentrated, structured and superbly balanced, with dense tannins and exceptional long-term aging potential.
