The medium-to-dark ruby-colored 1998 Latricieres-Chambertin displays a mouth-watering nose of spicy blackberries, cinnamon, and blueberries. Medium-to-full-bodied and ample, it is velvety-textured, muscular, and has an impressively long finish. This powerful wine is firmly structured yet appears to have the requisite density of fruit to sustain its tannin over the short to medium term. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2008.
