Tasting notes
Medium to dark ruby-colored, and sporting a dark cherry, spice, and fresh herb-scented nose, the 1998 Chambertin Clos de Beze is unquestionably one of the vintage's successes. Medium to full-bodied, broad, and powerful, it is a pure, well-balanced, and ripened wine. Its copious yet supple tannins are, at present, buried in layers and layers of red and black fruits. This well-structured and admirably persistent wine should be at its best over the next 8-9 years. Importer: A Peter Vezan Selection, Paris fax #011-33-1-42-55-42-93.
