Light to medium body. Ever so slightly browning robe. Dominant nose and palate flavor is strawberry and spice. This is not quite in balance yet. It turns thin and tannic on the mid palate and into the finish. Suggest waiting to early 2024 before opening; that’s what I plan to do.

Fresh, juicy, tangy, fuller bodied and rich but still with lift. Excellent wine, really liked this. side by side with the '02, this actually had better structure and lift than the '02! DD at Cotsen's

With 09 being a warmer vintage we decided to do a check in on this Beze. Opened an hour + before serving and the wine was open for business. Rich flavors of violets, purple and red flowers, red fruits, moderate spice and some nice soft tannins. Texture was very pleasing. Still on the younger side I am sure this will last well for another 15+ years.

Domaine Louis Jadot Clos de Bèze vertical. Tasted after 2011. Expressive, powerful, spicy with lots of dark fruit, minerality. Good acidity, lively, intense with ripe but noticeable tannins which are wonderfully covered by generous fruit. Long and persistent finish. Lovely. Stylistically not too dissimilar from the 2015 tasted before. 93-94+

Holiday lunch with many magnums (Black Salt): Delectable and rich, but firm and this is to be expected from Louis Jadot. A very pleasing expression of ripe dark fruits, black cherry and blackberry, with opulence and structure on the palate. Needs another five years at least of aging before entering a proper drinking window. Time in glass brought forth more charm, but I kept going back to the 1999 Fourrier from magnum for more pleasure.
