The 2005 Dujac Combottes is stellar, and a hair better than the domaine’s Chambolle-Musigny 'Gruenchers' this year. The bouquet is deep, polished and strikingly pure, as it wafts from the glass in a blend of blood orange, cherry, bitter chocolate, mustard seed, just a touch of game, cocoa powder, complex soil tones and a judicious framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is fullish, deep and intensely flavored, with laser-like focus, refined tannins, excellent acidity, and a very long, very pure finish. This is a very, very fine bottle in 2005, but this is one vintage of Dujac Combottes that I would be inclined to leave alone in the cellar for a good decade before pulling a cork, as the structural style of the 2005 vintage is likely to give this a relatively stern (and uncharacteristic for Combottes) adolescence. - JG

"A wonderfully expressive and high-toned nose of cool red berry fruits and hints of spice, earth and minerals serve to introduce sweet and impeccably well-balanced flavors that are sweet, delicious, rich, detailed and altogether serious, packing good punch and energy into a finish that is all grace and harmony. This is a really lovely effort that will age well yet be accessible early on."
