Bernard Dugat's 1998 Charmes-Chambertin (one-third Mazoyeres and two-thirds from the Charmes sector) is dark ruby-colored and offers a hugely spicy, candied cherry-scented nose. Loads of black fruits and sweet cherries, as well as asphalt and oak, can be found in this broad, medium to full-bodied wine. Sweet, almost jammy fruit coats the taster's palate throughout this offering's well-ripened personality and long, focused finish. Importer: Weygandt-Metzler, Peter Weygandt, Unionville, PA; tel. (610) 486-0800.
