From a site near the route nationale, Ponsot’s 2005 Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvee de l’Abeille offers aromas of black raspberry and brown spices; comes onto the palate with broad richness, its fruit complimented by mineral salt and charred meat flavors; and finishes with surprisingly subtle, low-toned beefy meatiness and wet stone minerality rather than simply obvious sweet fruit. This is remarkably intense for village wine. Apr 2007, www.robertparker.com
