The sweet red cherry and rose-scented 1999 Charmes-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes is a broad, super-ripe, lush, and mouth-coating wine. Abundant candied cherries and blackberries can be found in this soft, supple, exquisitely long and pure offering. In its highly detailed finish, notes of strawberries and violets can also be discerned. Drink it over the next 12-15 years.
