A View from the Cellar: 94 Points

I had purchased only a single bottle of the 1996 Joseph Drouhin Clos de Bèze back when the wine was released- why I have no idea- and after opening it for this article, I dearly wish I had bought a box! The wine showed brilliantly in DC, offering up a young and classic bouquet of red and black cherries, a touch of lavender, grilled meat, black minerality, dusty herbs, cedar and a floral topnote redolent of orchids. On the palate the wine is deep, fullish, pure and intensely flavored, with a lovely core of fruit, modest tannins, perfectly-integrated acids and superb length and grip on the tangy and nearly ready finish. A beautiful bottle of Clos de Bèze. (Drink between 2014-2040)
