On pnp very drinkable out of the get go. Slight bricking visually the most advanced of the 3 younger Clos de Beze. A very meaty wine (rather than rustic although it had a tiny bit of "polished" rusticity if that makes any sense), touch of iodine, brambly fruit and polished long palate. Interestingly a bottle of 06 straight Gevrey later on had blind seemed more youthful (less comples and interesting but just an outburst of exuberant lush fruit)... so maybe a bottle that was a tiny bit advanced (although not oxed in any way), that being said a taster of a 06 Chambertin I enjoyed last year was showing similar level of development to the Beze. From what i have had from Rousseau 06s it feels like they did really well and wines are in a nice spot already.

This struggled a little to shine. Needs time.

Salon Focofi Paris walkabout and dinner, so no detailed tasting notes. From MAG. Dense, still a bit brooding, good length though.

10/08/06/01 -- a little heavy and ripe relative to the other three, but late night and small pour at LP, so won't judge it too critically.
