Tasting Notes

As it was even from cask, this remains brilliantly expressive with notably ripe but bright and very fresh red berry fruit, plum and warm earth aromas trimmed in a bit of wood spice. There is outstanding richness to the supple and elegantly textured middle weight flavors that possess particularly lovely balance and harmony as well as terrific length. This really fans out on the finish and while the overall impression is a bit riper than I personally prefer, I suspect that it will tighten up in a few years to become more precise and harmonious.

Score: 93

A subtle background note of wood frames gorgeously elegant and highly nuanced aromas of red pinot fruit and the harmony of expression and sheer complexity of the textured, velvety, delicious, complex and altogether serious flavors is spectacular plus the richness of the finish is almost hard to believe. This too is very concentrated and 8 to 10 years of bottle age should be perfect to reveal the full potential here. In short, this is a real stunner of a wine.

Ruby-red. Explosively perfumed, sappy aromas of black cherry, raspberry, licorice and flowers. Extremely tight for this cuvee, with sappy cherry, raspberry and floral flavors, with strong minerality adding to the impression of precision. This, too, has a tightly coiled spring. Boasts an extraordinary finish, with palate-staining flavors of iron and gunflint outlasting the suave tannins. (96+ Points)

Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com 01 March 2005

The magnificently expressive 2002 Charmes-Chambertin boasts a floral, spicy nose packed with fresh red fruits. Spicy, concentrated, powerful, yet elegant, this cherry-dominated, medium-bodied wine exhibits spice box ands coffee notes in its extensive finish. Harmonious, refined, and extroverted, it is a candidate for drinking between 2006 and 2015.

Score: 96 - 97
