Domaine Armand Rousseau Chambertin Clos de Beze 1999
- (Thanks to John Orth and Henry Tang; also opened from personal storage). The '99 Bèze continues to improve with every passing year. A flat-out, gorgeously complex nose comprises spice, earth, minerality, and fresh red and black pinot fruit aromas. There is excellent richness to the intense and beautifully well-delineated medium-bodied flavours blessed with plenty of mouth-coating dry extract that confers a seductive texture onto the strikingly persistent finish. Like the '99 Chambertin, while this could be drunk now, I would strongly advise holding it for at least another 5 years, and 10 would probably be better. I tasted it many times, and this only seems to go from strength to strength. In a word, exquisite. Tasted twice in 2016 and 2017 with multiple consistent notes since release.
