Another wine where the aromatics far outperformed the palate. The nose was complex and concentrated, with dark and red fruits, spice and some brambly notes. The fruit was very subdued in the mouth, however, and the finish hollowed out a bit. Give this some time!

It was served along with other 2005 Chambertin in my BD dinner. Comparing to the other btl of 2005 Dujac NSG, this was tighter but still very enjotable. Aroma of herbs noted.

Holy wow, this is a great bottle of Dujac. Pulled cork an hour before decant 'n pour. Open right out of the blocks with ample gorgeous perfume of purple violets and earth that followed through in mouth and held through dinner. I'm sure this will evolve for two decades, but I would not skip tasting this right now. The first bottle of 2009 I've had that I would consider ready.

Drunk side by side with the 09 Rousseau Mazy-Chambertin. This came in second but just barely. A few green notes on open that dissipated as the fruit and balance took over. Great depth of fruit, lovely balance, great length. Enough depth to stand up to a full flavored meal, enough balance, fruit and panache to enjoy alone.
