Crafted from yields below 30 h/h, the medium to dark ruby-colored 1997 Charmes-Chambertin displays candied red cherry and spicy aromas. On the palate, it is opulent, sexy, refined, and gorgeously velvety. Flavors reminiscent of cinnamon-laced, red cherry jam coat the palate, and linger for up to 30 seconds or more.
