Chambolle Musigny, Les Charmes, 1er Cru, 1998

Deep red. Perfumed aromas of raspberry, cherry, spices and flowers. Offers compelling, penetrating, sweet flavors of small red fruits; initially quite creamy but closed up quickly in the glass. Dense but fresh. Finishes very long, spicy and firm, with suave tannins. Boasts superb fruit today, but this is likely to shut down in the bottle, perhaps for several years.
