violet and dark currant

This could use a bit more overall depth

Utterly magnificent in the glass

ripe black currants

This bottle of the 1996 is simply moving in its beauty

Louis Jadot, Latricieres Chambertin other_regions_australia violet and dark currantThis is notably higher toned than the Charmes with a more elegant blend of cool and restrained red currant, raspberry and liqueur of red cherry aromas, all trimmed in an overt stoniness that continues onto the bigger and more obviously concentrated flavors that carry better depth and length on the beautifully balanced if moderately austere finish. I quite like this and the sense of harmony is pronounced. Lovely and entirely classic in style. (92 94)
