Lot #41. Ponsot (Domaine des Chézeaux) Griotte-Chambertin 1990

Description: Consists of 1 Magnum, 1.5L
Score: 98 RP.
"Domaine de Chézeaux's Griotte-Chambertin rivals that made by Maurice and Claude Dugat. Nearly black in color, with a nose that offers up extraordinarily rich aromas of black-cherries, flowers, and truffles, in the mouth, the wine is stunningly rich, viscous, and chewy, with full body, tons of glycerin, and a finish that lasts for well over a minute. This is one of the most concentrated, opulent Pinot Noirs I have ever tasted. My instincts tell me there is considerable tannin lurking beneath the lavish quantities of fruit. But, wow, what an impression this wine makes! . . . . While not many burgundies today merit a special search of the marketplace, this certainly does!" Wine Advocate #83, Oct 1992
Notes: 2cm, lightly wrinkled capsule, lightly wine stained, lightly scuffed vintage neck tag, damp stained, lightly mold stained, nicked, scuffed label.
