Deep red. Floral aromas of red cherry, red licorice, spices, mocha and iron. Sweet on entry, then precise, perfumed and sharply delineated in the mid-palate, with juicy, harmonious acidity. Lifted by violet and rose notes. Finishes very pure and long, with nicely integrated, rather gentle tannins. Classic Charmes.

- Wow, this is a blockbuster. If you're looking for a classic example of Chambertin terrior, and price is no object, then this is the wine for you. Velvety Pinot Noir flavors with an earthy core, knock-you-silly tannins, and a fabulous fruity finish combine to make this a terrific wine. Needs time in the bottle -- check back in about ten years.
