Score 93-95/100 · Drink 2001-2010, Pierre Rovani, Oct 1999
The dark-colored 1997 Chambertin Clos de Beze's nose offers peppery, cassis, and leather scents. It is firm, structured, yet silky textured, as well as layered with road tar, cigar box, kirsch, and plum flavors. This broad-shouldered, muscular, and highly expressive offering also possesses an extraordinarily long and flavor-packed finish. It is dense, sweet, full-bodied, and harmonious. Projected maturity: 2001-2010+. Importer: Clicquot, Inc., New York, NY; tel (212) 888-7575.
