The magnificent, dark ruby-colored 1999 Charmes-Chambertin has a fresh cherry, rose, and violet-scented nose. This medium to full-bodied wine has exquisite breadth to its sweet oak-infused, cherry syrup, and perfume-flavored character. Harmonious as well as densely packed with super-ripe flavors, it possesses an impressively long, supple, and pure finish. This outstanding wine should be drunk over the course of the next 10-12 years. Bottled under the Baron de la Charriere label and imported by European Cellars, Eric Solomon, New York, NY; tel.
