There are, sadly, only 4 barrels (less than 100 cases) of the fabulous 2003 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses. Sporting a nose of unreal spiciness, this powerful, sultry effort explodes on the palate, unleashing waves of licorice, chocolate, and candied black cherries. This ample, mouth-filling beauty has excellent focus, enormous amounts of fruit, outstanding purity, and loads of exquisitely ripe tannin. Projected maturity: 2007-2017.
