1997 Chambertin

Sweet plums and jammy cherries can be found in the aromatics of the dark ruby/purple-colored 1997 Chambertin. Medium-to-full-bodied and ample, it is velvety-textured, plump, and packed with plummy baked cherries. This wine's personality envelopes the palate with lush fruit and spices. It is well-structured, concentrated, and immensely long in the finish.

Red-ruby. Knockout nose combines raspberry, black cherry, iron, coffee, leather and animal fur. Shows a texture of pure silk, but impeccable acidity gives the intense flavors precision and penetration. Combines superbly rich fruit and considerable power: here's the iron fist in the velvet glove. Extremely long finish features noble, suave tannins. This beautifully balanced wine is almost shockingly easy to taste today.
