The tight and muted nose of the Charmes-Chambertin revealed attractive perfumed and floral aromas after some coaxing, but the explosive, spectacularly silky, wild and dark fruit-filled, sublimely elegant mouth was enough to ascertain this wine's prodigious quality. Medium-to-full bodied, beautifully extracted, and exhibiting great length, this gem should be drunk between 2004-2012.This rating and note is for the special North Berkeley cuvee, I did not taste the regular commercial bottling.This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29.Importer: North Berkeley Imports, Berkeley, CA; tel (510) 848-8910.
