2002 Amiot Clos de la Roche
Written By: Michael Zimberg on Tuesday, September 30, 2008
This is a grand cru Burgundy. I found it for $65 on winebid. Although this is a lot of money, burgundy at this level usually starts at $150. This delivers. It is a light ruby and is at first closed and somewhat thin. Then it forms into a fragrant, perfumed, aromatic delight. This is delicate and smooth, with precise candied cherry and crandberry, and sappy pine and a nice sense of harmony. This charming wine is growing on me, after being open more than an hour. It will age for 10 more years.

Michael Zimberg has intuition when it comes to wine. Somehow, some way, he is able to spot the best deals and the best food and wine pairings. Mikey's wife, Jill, attributes it to a naturally well-defined sense of taste and smell, combined with a healthy dose of experience. Whatever it is, his reviews shouldn't be missed.
