Pierre Damoy, Chambertin-Clos de Beze Grand Cru 2006

Good deep red. Pungent, somewhat sauvage aromas of black raspberry, mocha, minerals, Asian spices, cola and game. Supple and silky on entry, then quite clenched in the middle palate, with a distinctly animal quality quite apparent today. Finishes distinctly firm-edged, with dusty tannins. With extended time in the recorked bottle, this showed growing sweetness without losing its wild character.
