The ruby-colored 1998 Charmes-Chambertin has blackberry and black cherry aromas. Medium-bodied, pure, and luxuriously-textured, this sweet and sexy wine will be at its best if consumed over the near-term. At present, its copious layers of jammy red fruits coat its tannins. Drink it over the next 5 years.
