Chambertin 2008 Domaine Ponsot

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (95)

Ponsot’s 2008 Chambertin suggests plum paste concentrate, licorice, black tea, soy, and black pepper in a pungent aroma and savory palate performance that really tugs at the salivary glands. Thick and incipiently silken in texture, this beauty doesn’t stint on ripe black fruits either, as becomes especially evident in an intense, multifaceted finish that superbly harnesses the inherent energy of its vintage while remaining engaging, elegant, as well as compulsively enticing of the next sip. Look for great things over the next two decades.

Just two barrels produced. Sweetness rather than seriousness seems to be the keynote here, with heady floral notes, some spice, a note of Christmas pudding, and lots of agreeable stuffing. But it?s a sort of jester of a Chambertin rather than an intellectual rendition of this famous name.?
