2014 Domaine Ponsot Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru There is even more intensity

There is even more intensity and vibrancy to the sleek and refined middle weight flavors that are shaped by a slightly firmer tannic backbone on the mildly austere but persistent finish

Remarkably

The palate is polished and sleek but shows plenty of energy

2014 Domaine Ponsot Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru There is even more intensity93 95 Burghound The exuberantly spicy if notably restrained nose grudgingly reveals wisps of mostly various red berries along with hints of underbrush, humus, earth and sandalwood. There is fine density and plenty of punch to the larger scaled flavors that exhibit outstanding delineation on the relatively refined if quite firmly structured finale. This is tannic and serious yet not hard and the natural elegance of a classic Clos de Bze is in evidence.
