91-93 WA. "The ruby-colored 1997 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses has a gorgeously floral nose, packed with violets and roses. On the palate, this thick, satin-textured wine bursts forth with powerful and deeply ripe flavors. It is sweet as jam, yet refined, and crammed with red fruit and stone-like nuances. It is opulent, sensual, complex, rich, precise, and possesses a long and supple finish. This [is a] sexy, hedonistic wine . . ." Wine Advocate #125, Oct 1999 |
