2005 Domaine Joseph Roty Charmes Chambertin Tres Vieilles Vignes Burgundy Jeroboam - 98 pts - 3000ml

From vines said to have been planted in the 1880s, the Roty 2005 Charmes Chambertin Tres Vieilles Vignes announces its distinction a foot away from the glass, with uncanny intensity and clarity of black fruit essences, along with ineffable mineral and animal suggestions. Tactile cinnamon spiciness, bitter-sweet herbs, and black cherry and black raspberry concentrate (fresh, yet with liqueur-like intensity, sweetness and viscosity) saturate the palate, and a dark and rising tide of mineral and carnal flavors meets the fruit and spice in a thunderous finish. There is mystery aplenty here, with the sex appeal well beneath the surface. RP A highly complex nose featuring a bright mix of red, black and violet aromas trimmed in moderate toast highlights very rich and full-bodied flavors underpinned by superb dry extract levels on the explosive and slightly woody but explosive finish. While a bit oaky at present, there is so much extract here that it should eventually come together given the substantially long life ahead. BH
