1999 Domaine Ghislaine Barthod Chambolle-Musigny Les Veroilles 1er Cru

The medium to dark ruby-colored 1999 Chambolle-Musigny Les Veroilles has a brooding, dark raspberry, stone, and chalk-scented nose. Blackberries, cassis, and minerals can be found in its firm, foursquare character. If this wine's fruit can come to dominate its tannin, it will certainly be an excellent to outstanding wine. If not, my score range will appear generous. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2009? Importer: Neal Rosenthal Wine Merchant, New York, NY; tel. (800) 910-1990.
