Domaine Armand Rousseau - 2003 - Chambertin Clos de Bèze GC Les Ouvrées Rodin It was certainly showing wellRobert Parker's Wine Advocate : Loads of spices are intermingled with blackberries and black cherries in the wonderful aromatics of the 2003 Chambertin Clos de Beze. A bold, ample, medium to full bodied wine, it expands on the palate, revealing great breadth and richness. Hugely spicy, this candied blackberry dominated effort sports a persistent finish crammed with solid tannin.
