The medium to dark ruby-colored 1999 Chambolle-Musigny Les Baudes (domaine), a 30-year wine for Jacques Lardiere, has a stony, blackberry, and fresh herb-scented nose. Light to medium-bodied and refined, it offers juicy blackberries and cherry flavors. It is lace-like, highly delineated, and possesses loads of super-ripe tannins in its admirably long finish. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2012.
