Yet another step up, especially since this contains all the young vine Musigny fruit of less than 20 years of age. Very ripe, elegant Chambolle red raspberry fruit yet this is clearly more reserved, bigger and more tannic than the straight 98 Chambolle and even more persistent on the long finish that lasts and lasts. As M. Millet observed, "This wine is a short trouser Musigny."

Bright dark red. Knockout nose features a basket of red fruits, roast coffee and tangy spices. Very sweet, thick and dense; a fairly big wine but vibrant and harmonious. Wonderfully intense red fruit and spice flavors build inexorably on the finish. Tannins are dusty and fine.

Very well balanced, rich. this bottle is not as bright and forward as the last but quite mature and delicious.
