The medium to dark ruby-colored 1999 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Combottes has a dark roasted berry-scented nose. This glycerine-packed, medium to full-bodied wine is crammed with blueberry, vanilla, oak, and blackberry flavors. It has an awesome, oily-textured mouthfeel, and a powerfully flavored and structured character. Projected maturity: 2005-2015+. Importer: Martine's Wines, San Raphael, CA; tel. (415) 485-1800.

Full ruby-red. Sappy, vibrant aromas of cherry, black raspberry and animal fur. Big, sweet, thick and mouthfilling; chewy and full for Combottes. Finishes with smooth ripe tannins and a liqueur-like note of maraschino cherry.
