Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru, Domaine Faiveley 2010 (AM 96)

  Red wine from Burgundy, France

Bright, deep red. Pungent, vibrant nose combines dark raspberry, smoked meat, sandalwood, musky herbs, minerals and lower-pitched earth tones. Dense, sappy and expansive, boasting outstanding lift and energy to its sharply delineated flavors of dark cherry, berry skin, flowers and white pepper. There’s no easy sweetness to this great Clos de Beze, which finishes with noble tannins and compelling subtle persistence.
