Tasting notes
The dark colored 1997 Latricieres-Chambertin has profound prune, plum, and licorice flavors. This satin-textured, explosive, deep, masculine wine is tannic, structured, and powerful. Blackberry juice, mint, and plums can be found throughout its deep flavor profile and opulently flavored, persistent finish. It will require cellaring patience yet has the potential for mid- to long-term aging. Projected maturity: 2003-2012+. Importer: A Patrick Lesec Selection, Paris Fax #: 011-33-1-44-70-62-93.

Deep ruby-red. Very complex, cooler aromas of black cherry, dark chocolate, spice and coffee; shows a slightly mentholated aspect that's refreshing for the vintage. Pristine and detailed in the mouth; less fat than the above but more shapely and delineated. This is vivacious for a '97 and quite fine. Lush, utterly seamless finish features perfectly distributed tannins.
