Burghound
The more expressive nose is spicier with a more deeply pitched array of dark currant, plum, cassis and plenty of floral and earth characters. There is the same excellent tension and detail to the bigger and more powerful medium weight plus flavors that don't exhibit quite the same level of minerality but even better persistence. Note well that this is quite firmly structured and should generously reward extended cellaring.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, the 2014 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru from Duroché was shaded by the wood on the nose, and it was difficult to read the fruit at this present juncture. The palate is medium-bodied with good extraction, perhaps needing a little more of the delineation and precision that defines the Clos de Bèze from Faiveley this year. It remains tight-lipped, laconic toward the finish. It will develop more personality with bottle age—I suspect this is entering a sulky period where it may shut down for a period. Tasted September 2017.

Vinous
92+ (there were just four barrels of this juice in 2014; these vines were planted in 1920 at a very dense 1. 0 by 0. 8 meters, or 12,500 vines per hectare): Healthy medium red. Richer and broader on the nose than the Charmes, showing slightly sauvage aromas and flavors of wild red berries, medicinal red cherry, dried flowers, tobacco, smoke and gibier. Rich, thick and savory; at once very dry and fully ripe. Really mounts in intensity toward the back but doesn't currently show the thrust of the best examples of this grand cru.
