exceptionally pure and concentrated mid-palate

impeccable 1990

Denis Bachelet Charmes Chambertin 2001 750mL (Slightly Nicked Label) Size:750mL exceptionally pure and concentrated mid-palate"Medium red with amber tones. Captivating balsamic nose offers notes of truffle, spiced bread and orange zest, along with a positive porty element. Wonderfully silky and broad, with sexy strawberry and redcurrant flavors complicated by a note of black olive. Really saturates the mouth on the broad, long, gripping finish, hinting at marzipan."
