The 2012 Chambertin Clos de Bèze marries the pure intensity of the vintage with notable freshness. Dark red and black fruit, smoke, tar and spices build in a wine that impresses for its volume and resonance. Today the flavors are a bit compact, but I imagine that is just a function where the wine is in its life. I very much like the sense of power and density here.
