The dark-colored 1999 Charmes-Chambertin has red cherry confiture aromas. This feminine, medium-bodied wine is a sexy fruit bomb. Its character is jam-packed with lush layers of jammy cherries, candied raspberries, and sugar-coated strawberries whose flavors last throughout its exceptionally long and seamless finish. Projected maturity: now-2009.
