Tasting note: Bright red-ruby. Sappy, liqueur-like aromas and flavors of maraschino cherry, minerals and violet, with a slightly candied quality. Offers compelling intensity without any impression of weight, with the red fruit flavors enlivened by penetrating minerality. Wonderfully precise and pure on the very long back end. Very different in style from the Clos Saint-Denis, as this was 60% destemmed. The alcohol here is just below 13%, notes Seysses. Give this baby time to deepen and expand in bottle. (94+?pts.

Tasting note: A strikingly complex and impressively pure nose of earthy red pinot fruit with animale hints and ample spice notes dissolves seamlessly into dusty and moderately concentrated flavors that like the RSV exude a finely wrought sense of poise and harmony on the impeccably well-balanced and explosive finish. There is real underlying tension and energy here that gives lift and punch to the overall effect. What's interesting here is that at first glance, it seems a bit light but the focus and intensity are such that I believe this will prove to be much more impressive than present appearances suggest.

Tasting note: The Dujac 2005 Chambertin combines fruit from the vineyard of that name with a majority of fruit from the Clos de Beze. Scents of rose petals, black tea, black raspberry, black pepper, and cassis stream from the glass. A wonderfully soothing, glycerin-rich, silken-textured pool of sweetly ripe and rose-scented fruit fills the mouth, while dark shadings of singed meat and wet stone well up from seemingly inexhaustible depths of extract. For all of its palpable density and sheer intensity, this is clear, refined, and displays elegant poise in its long, evocative finish. More than ample tannin is no doubt present for long keeping, but it is so fine-grained – and the gustatory show going on around it so dazzling – as to pass almost unnoticed. (96pts.
