Much more reserved than usual with backward but spicy black fruit aromas that merge into toasty, round, sweet, intense and wonderfully deep flavors and a sappy, incredibly long finish, all underpinned by fine, almost delicate tannins. There is a bit more toast here than I personally prefer but there can be no doubt that this is a terrific effort with outstanding base material.
The exceptional 2002 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses is a big, broad, chunky wine. Medium-bodied, oily-textured, sultry, pure, and juicy, this lush beauty possesses awesome layers of thick, dark fruits. While dense and concentrated, it is also fresh, well-balanced, and exhibits a long, superb finish. Projected maturity: 2006-2014.
