The outstanding 1999 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses has a medium to dark ruby color and an intense candied raspberry and sweet cherry-scented nose. Medium to full-bodied and ample, this wine has impressive concentration and structure. It is loaded with blackberries, cherries, blueberries, and violets. The cru's flavors last throughout its admirably, long, ripe tannin-filled finish. Projected maturity: 2004-2012.
