Strawberries, raspberries, and jammy cherries can be found in the aromatics of the 1999 Beaune Clos Des Mouches. Medium-bodied and forward, it has a plummy, red and black fruit-flavored character. It is fresh, well-balanced, yet appears to be more forward than would be expected for a wine this young. Anticipated maturity: now-2005.
