1906 Patriarche Pere et Fils Charmes Chambertin. I have only tried this vintage 3 or 4 times in my life but it is one of my favourite vintages of the 20th century... every bottle I have had has really been close to the event horizon. Climate characteristics were supposedly close to perfection, resulting in wines which have an incredible ability to age. This bottle was no exception... one of the top somms in Japan blind tasted this as a 1980s wine. A bit of bricking on the edges only, but a nice deep ruby color tone. Nose of dried rose petals, dark cherries, plum, earth, autumnal leaves, sweet spice and smoke... wafting aroma that just fills the room. Palate is surprisingly structured.. plum, blackberry core with a nice array of game, tobacco, earthy tones and Asian spices. Nice mid palate with a lingering finish.. beautiful beautiful bottle that is drinking extremely well, reinforcing my view to buy any 1906s you come across.
