Verkostungsnotizen
Vinous 94
The 1989 Chambertin Grand Cru has a startling bouquet that is quite gamey and savory in style, a hint of hickory and soy, dark berried fruit with Provencal herbs. The palate is medium-bodied with a silky texture, fine tannins and superb focus. Even though it does not have the complexity of say the 1996 or 2005 Chambertin on the finish, it is blessed with a beguiling symmetry that is irresistible. Given the hint of dryness I would not leave this for an extended period…but what a lovely wine. Tasted at the Rousseau dinner in London.
Anticipated maturity: 2019-2025
Robert Parker 94
Tasted at the Armand Rousseau tasting at Roberson’s in London. A startling bouquet quite gamey and savoury, a hint of hickory and soy, dark berried fruit with hints of Provencal herbs. The palate is medium-bodied with beautiful, silky tannins, amazing focus and even though it does not have the complexity of say the 1996 or 2005 on the finish, it has a beguiling symmetry that is irresistible. I would not leave this, just a hint of dryness on the finish, but what a lovely wine. Tasted November 2010.
