2000 Charmes Chambertin

Displaying darker aromas and flavors typical for a Claude Dugat Charmes-Chambertin, the 2000 offers plummy blackberry scents as well as a grapy, black cherry-dominated personality. An intensely flavored, powerful wine, it has superb concentration, grip, and density of fruit as well as an exceptionally long, ripe finish. Projected maturity: now-2011.
