Louis Jadot Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses 1991 (Label Damage)

The cool and pure medium weight plus flavors are remarkably refined for a young Chambertin yet there is clearly plenty of power lurking beneath the refined veneer

it has great purity on the nose

anise and the sauvage adding breadth to the ripe dark currant scents

shows beautiful fruit purity

The 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Herb Lamb Vineyard is a wonderful wine on its own merit

It is difficult for readers who have never tasted Cuvee Madame to imagine a wine of such honeyed richness

voluptuously-textured mouthful of exceptionally extracted port

The good news is that the flavors have evolved a little

all wrapped in a sappy and well-balanced finale that delivers superb length

There is a driving minerality to the mouth coating and focused middle weight plus flavors that are ultra-vibrant

This is a relatively elegant Nuits villages

floral elements and a background note of anise
