Note di degustazione
One of the highlights of the tasting, the 1999 Chambertin Grand Cru is a deep and resonant wine that unfurls in the glass with aromas of dark berries, wild berries, rose petals, orange zest and burning embers. If the 1997 and 1998 impress in the context of more challenging years, the 1999 nonetheless reveals another dimension of density and plenitude, its fleshy attack segueing into a layered and enveloping mid-palate that's seamless and complete, concluding with a resonant finish. Sadly, fewer than 300 bottles were produced.

The 1999 Chambertin is a magnificent, show-stopping wine. It is black-colored and bursts from the glass with licorice, cookie dough, blackberry and cassis liqueur aromas. This is a massive, full-bodied wine with loads of sweet candied black fruits, licorice, freshly laid asphalt, spice, fresh herbs, and toasty oak flavors. It is mind-numbingly powerful, conquering the taster with wave upon wave of supple, syrup-like fruit whose flavors last throughout its seemingly unending finish. This blockbuster Burgundy should be cellared for a minimum of 10 years and may last up to 20 or more years after that. It is one of the rare wines from this region that I would have no qualms about cellaring for 30 years. Aug 2001, www.robertparker.com
Saturated bright ruby. Laid-back, pure aromas of kirsch, licorice, minerals and mocha. Explosive, sappy black fruit flavors are still a bit youthfully musclebound. But this extremely powerful wine already shows an almost three-dimensional texture and bright framing acids. Distinctly chewy on the back end. Dugat vinified whole clusters-in contrast to his other grand crus, which were two-thirds destemmed.
