Bruno Clair Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru 2022

this is disappointingly thin and while there is good complexity

the 2014 Proprietary Red IX Estate is an old-fashioned Médoc blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon

It is reminiscent of a cross between the 1947 Cheval Blanc and the 1947 Petrus

In the same vein as the nose the big-bodied flavors are denser and more powerful as the dry extract really imparts a textured palate impression on the sappy and velvety finale

The 1949 is made in the mold of the 1953

ripe and still primary fruit soars from the glass followed by gorgeously detailed

serious and youthfully austere finish that delivers sneaky good length

This is another 30-year wine from Bond

and before they sell 2005 and 2006

The level of new wood and menthol are borderline intrusive and while it does not dominate the underlying fruit of poached plum and cassis

Denis though it is earthier and almost as complex

balanced and notably firm finale
