We tasted two amazing wines by Denis Mortet in February.
1998 Chambertin, Denis Mortet
Tasted 23 Feb 2010: Ruby core. Intense nose of gamey, spicy, savoury notes interlaced with attractive red cherry character. Palate of red fruit and spices, balanced by silky tannins and a good level of acidity. Lingering finish. A very classic burgundy, well-developed for drinking now, and over the next 5 - 6 years. Score: 18/20
1999 Clos Vougeot, Denis Mortet
Tasted 14 Feb 2010: An absolute beauty, sensual and alluring, with its very attractive, almost perfumed bouquet (red fruit, earthy, rose, violets, and lightly spicy), its very silky texture, elegant body, and a finish that goes on for a long time….just a beautiful wine! Drinking very well now, and over the next 6 - 8 years. Score: 18.5/20
