Chambolle Musigny, Les Charmes, 1er Cru, 1996

Bright red-ruby. Subtly perfumed, very complex aromas of raspberry, strawberry, minerals, red licorice and exotic hints of apricot and grapefruit. The biggest and sweetest of these '96s; really lush and full, combining superb lingering sweetness with a large structure. The even tannins are thoroughly enrobed by thick, sappy red fruit. Very impressive.
