...the spicy red, blue, black and violet aromas are reserved to the point of being reluctant and the big, focused, powerful and extremely rich flavors are also decidedly tight and not particularly forthcoming yet the underlying material is strikingly good, all wrapped in a youthfully austere but incredibly long finish. This is extremely promising and while it's less massive than the Clos de Vougeot, it's both finer and very sophisticated. If you can find it, buy it.

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Arguably Burgundy's most exalted village, home to legendary Grand Crus. Its Pinot Noir is renowned for perfume, silk and sublime complexity.
2005 in Burgundy is a legendary vintage from a near-ideal, dry growing season; both reds and whites are concentrated, structured and superbly balanced, with dense tannins and exceptional long-term aging potential.
