The dark colored 1997 Chambertin exhibits profound aromas of wax and super-ripe, chocolate-covered blackberries. Its powerful and expansive personality explodes on the palate, coating the taster's mouth with road tar, licorice, spiced oak, and cassis liqueur. This thick, full-bodied, muscular, and structured wine is intense and complex. It possesses the characteristic of sur-maturite in the fruit, yet is crafted in such a way as to be well-structured and capable of mid-term cellaring. Projected maturity: 2001-2010+.
