2000 Lambrays Clos des Lambrays

By on February 29, 2004 #asides

Medium cherry red colour. The nose has red fruit, a confiture of roasting raspberries and just a little spicy oak and alcohol. With time in a decanter the palate becomes sweet and supple but starts with a very grainy and oaky expression that is wearing. The fruit has good concentration and some depth and complexity, good acidity and silkily soft tannin. There’s a reasonable turnaround in the decanter so the oak will better integrate with time and what’s underneath is very lovely, but I’m still concerned for the future. Despite only medium concentration, because of the oak I won’t touch another of mine before its tenth birthday.

Medium-plus cherry with some purple. This has deeper more ‘cooked’ fruit than the previous Chambertins. But still excellent structure. Very good.

Medium-plus cherry colour. Lovely high toned red fruity nose. Also red fruit on the palate. Furry tannin, good acidity, persistent & structured. Very good.
