Chambolle Musigny Les Cras, Domaine Georges & Christophe Roumier 2002

Tight and reserved black and red cherry and plum aromas with sweet, intense, exceptionally pretty flavors that just ooze extract of pinot and completely coat the mouth. There is a lovely inner mouth perfume and this is utterly delicious if perhaps not quite as beautifully delineated as its 2001 counterpart. It is however extraordinarily well balanced and I very much like this with its mineral-infused and linear finish.

The glorious aromas of the 2002 Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras reveal black cherries, plums, violets, stones, and raspberries. Satin-textured and ample, it is a broad, fleshy, sweet effort packed with plummy cherry flavors. Projected maturity: 2005-2012
