93ST
"(A blend of 1952, 1963 and 1972 plantings.) Ruby-red. Brooding, darker aromas of black raspberry, smoke and flowers. The fattest and sweetest wine in the cave but without any heaviness. Exudes an utterly captivating rose petal perfume and sappy fruit flavors that I associate with the best examples of this grand cru. (Geantet says he’s in the best sector of Charmes, next to Griotte-Chambertin.) Finishes extremely long and subtle, with superb fruit and great mineral snap. (In comparison, the 2001 version was more virile, showing more Chambertin-like animale, smoke, iron and earth, while this seems to have fresher acids and a more obvious mineral character.)"
