Tasting notes
Good deep red. Aromas of wild small red berries, mocha, smoke and earth; quite ripe and perhaps less floral than usual. Sweet on entry, then firmer, less pliant, more mineral than the foregoing samples. Very elegantly styled, but today this rather reserved wine shows less volume than the Sentiers. Best on the broad back end, which features dusty but fine tannins and notes of spice and mint. Serge says the wine is better than this bottle is showing.

The exceptional 2002 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses is a big, broad, chunky wine. Medium-bodied, oily-textured, sultry, pure, and juicy, this lush beauty possesses awesome layers of thick, dark fruits. While dense and concentrated, it is also fresh, well-balanced, and exhibits a long, superb finish. Projected maturity: 2006-2014.

Medium red. Musky aromas of roasted red fruits, smoke, mint, licorice and earth; sappy and complex. Fat, pure and silky, with mineral and herbal nuances leavening the wine's sweetness. Very long, slow-mounting finish features very fine tannins.
