Lucien Le Moine Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru 2018

Like the Poisets this is notably rich with its relatively large-scaled flavors that also enjoy good density thanks to the abundant dry extract that also coats the palate and pushes the firmer supporting tannins to the background

There is both fine volume and intensity to the punchy flavors that are more refined than usual thanks to the fine grain of the supporting tannins on the attractively well-balanced and persistent finish

this is actually slightly less structured though I emphasize slightly

lengthy and impeccably well-balanced finish save for a trace of warmth

spice and pure red and dark berries

all wrapped in a moderately austere and hugely long finish

black cherry

Another perfect wine from Ann Colgin and her winemaking team is the 2013 IX Proprietary Red Estate

A wonderfully fresh

The still very firm and backward middle weight plus flavors possess both excellent mid-palate density and plenty of minerality that carries over to the hugely long finish that is impeccably well-balanced

Its creamy freshness is further emphasised by the textural delicacy of its mousse

floral and really attractive with intense fruit
