Product Description
WS97 "Aromas of wild cherry, sweet spice and flowers won't be denied in this effusive, classy red. It has depth and picks up cherry and mineral notes on the palate. Firmly structured, it's balanced, yet needs time for all its elements to come together." BS for WS May 2006
VM95 "Good medium red. Headspinning, expressive nose combines candied red fruits, chocolate, minerals, pepper, smoked meat, five-spice powder, underbrush and flowers; this incorporates all the Chambertin food groups. Hugely thick, sappy and sweet, with outstanding volume and breadth. Wonderfully dense flavors of raspberry, menthol, five-spice powder and underbrush. Finishes with broad, noble tannins and unflagging persistence. This captures the essence of the 2003 vintage, and is showing spectacularly today. A no-brainer for those lucky enough to find a bottle: I thought I was drinking an old-style Burgundy from the '40s." ST for VM Mar 2006
