Tasting notes
This is a sensational effort for the vintage witha fantastically complex nose that is still fresh and mostly still primary leads to rich, robust and suave full-bodied and concentrated flavors of first class depth and stunning length. This is a serious wine that is flat out terrific and is still on the way up. Note: two other bottles have displayed a very strange acetone character on the nose which largely obliterates the sour pinot fruit and while the flavors were rich and impressively dark, they weren't what they should have been.

The Charmes-Chambertin reveals spicy oak in its elegant, well-defined, berry-scented nose. In the mouth, the wine is medium-bodied, with fine concentration, soft acids, and a spicy, moderately tannic finish. It will benefit from 1-2 years of cellaring and should keep for up to a decade . Importer: Weygandt-Metzler, Unionville, PA.
