Red Wine from Cote De Nuits

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points: Ripe dark plum and cherry with a hint of licorice on the nose of the Raphet 2007 Chambertin Clos de Beze follow on a palate firmer and less alluring than that of the corresponding 2008, a sort of role reversal for which...

Burghound, 93 points: (BH90-93 points) This is also elegant, pure and broadly aromatic with hints of earth, underbrush and a touch of the sauvage adding nuance to the red currant and violet notes that introduce rich and rather serious...

Wine Spectator, 92 points: Full of bright, pure cherry fruit, this red is lush and open, with hints of spice and mint accenting the core flavors. Supple and harmonious, delivering a juicy, mouthwatering finish. Fine length. Best from 2016 through...

Decanter, 93 points: Classic and elegant with glossy red and black fruits, subtle oak, silky and suave tannins and a juicy, crunchy finish.

Burghound, 92 points: A deft application of wood sets off fresher and more elegant if not more complex aromas of essence of cool red berry fruit, kirsch, wet stone and a hint of humus. There is excellent precision and here too an admirable...

Burghound, 91 points: (88-91) There is enough reduction to push the fruit to the background though it appears ripe. Otherwise there is a lovely vibrancy to the lacy and intense flavors that possess a polished mouthfeel thanks to the relatively...
