Big scale nose displaying very ripe concentrated red and black fruit, cherry pie, strawberry jam, blackberry jam, licorice, caramel, dark spices and earth. There is a hint of green. Excellent concentration, layers upon layers of concentrated very ripe red and black fruit, rich, chewy and a bit chunky, good acidity, earthy mineral, still noticeable tannins and a medium to long very ripe black fruit driven finish with a hint of green and caramel at the end. There is only a hint of sous bois. Although it is ripe, it may not have achieved the full phenolic ripeness. IMO, it can improve for another decade, becoming more tertiary and lessening the ripe fruit expression.

Edward brought this wine to the GC tasting diner. There were 2 CC in the night but this was deeper in color, more concentrate in aroma and in the dark fruits side, fatter body and powerful structure but little rough in palate. This wine shown hot 03' vintage and VV grapes, cf other in 05' vintage of Domain Confuron Contetidot CC.

Broody and charmingly sullen. A darker, more power laden version of CC. Slow cave rave beats. Juicy dark fruit. Earthiness. Opens up and fruits get redder and the beat gets faster. Gives a passing glance to Charles with some leather and floral elements. I enjoyed this a lot. Honestly, a perfect glass of a GC level Burg to relax with for brunch.

Very ripe expressive nose displaying framboise, cherry, licorice, dark spices and earth. Excellent concentration, intense framboise driven palate impression, good acidity, fully integrated tannins and a long framboise driven finish. The 03 expression is there but not terribly strong. There is plenty of fruit to wait and see.

I did not enjoy as much as the 2002. Nose and palate both dominated by dark fruit. A notable lack of spice, earth and general savory elements. Has softened enough by this point to be approachable but does not provide significant complexity. 90+

Still feels a little young, with a bite and acidity on the palate. Over 15-20 minutes, it opens up to reveal a bit of tart blackberry enveloped by a light ash. Several more years of goodness left in these bottles!

Delicious rich dark fruit. Some alcohol on the nose. Lively angular mid-palate with medium finish. Will circle back in two years. Enjoyed in Riedel sommelier Burgundy glass with Epoisses Berthaut.

Fresh fruit and mushrooms on the nose, with a little alcohol at the end. Big fruit on the palate, some power, pretty smooth but a bit of heat on the finish. Would be the best of today's tastes if not for the alcohol - the percentage shown on the label must be off.

Domaine Perrot-Minot Tasting/Dinner with Some Other Great Burgundy from DNS (The Bristol - Chicago IL): Open 45 minutes before serving alongside the Mazoyeres-Chambertin. Ripe black and red cherry with moderate spice. Less meaty or powerful vs Mazoyeres, but more elegant textures. Moderate weight and length. Very good now. I preferred the Mazoyeres, as did most others tonight.

Ripe but I otherwise like the balance of dark fruit, spice and soil notes. Too much sweetness in this wine currently. 89-90

Incredible cherries, light tobacco, and subtle leather on the nose followed by blueberries and chocolate on the tongue and finish.

luscious, brick-y, a little tannic still, another 10 yrs to go, but a very deep, bright, multi-faceted burgundy
