Score 87-89/100 · Drink 2000-2007, Pierre Rovani, Apr 2000
Creamed spices and baked apples are found in the aromatics of the 1998 Meursault Charmes. Medium to full-bodied, plump, broad, and rich, it offers admirable layers of poached pear, cinnamon, and anise-like flavors. This opulent, potentially outstanding wine should be consumed over the next 5-7 years. Importer: Peter Weygandt, Weygandt-Metzler, Unionville, PA; tel (610) 932-2745.

Note of crab apple on the nose; seems more evolved than the last wine. Sweet and intensely flavored; superripe and fat for the year. But despite the unconverted malic acidity, I don't get an impression of real vibrancy. Too unevolved to assess with confidence today.
