2008 Charmes Chambertin
Buying options
Tasting Notes
The 2008 Charmes-Chambertin is virtually impenetrable. This is a decidedly cool, inward Charmes in need of considerable time in bottle. It couldn’t be more different than the subtle, expressive 2009. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2038. May 2011, www.robertparker.com

A ripe and wonderfully elegant nose that is quite dense revolves around layered red berry fruit aromas nuanced by a cascade of floral, earth, smoke, meat and spice hints that is followed by generous yet detailed broad-shouldered flavors that curiously manage to be both tender and firm on the classy, long and energetic finish. This will need up to 20 years to reach its full potential so this definitely will not be an early drinker. January 2011. www.burghound.com
