2003 Domaine Claude Dugat Charmes Chambertin

Bright, deep red-ruby. Vibrant, highly nuanced nose combines raspberry, cherry, flowers, smoke and roasted herbs. Sweet but suave and fresh, with superb concentration and sappy verve. Still youthfully taut and reined in, with plenty of power in reserve. Lovely floral lift transcends the vintage. An exceptionally good 2003, finishing with outstanding breadth and length.
