" 93(+?) points Stephen Tanzer: "Dark red. Redcurrant, cherry and smoke on the nose; conveys a stronger impression of soil than the Mazoyeres. Powerful but tightly wrapped, with dense, sappy flavors of small, wild red fruits. Solidly structured and built to age. Finishes with strong but ripe tannins and excellent persistence." (Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Mar/Apr 02) 92 points Pierre Rovani writing for the Wine Advocate: "The sweet red cherry and rose-scented 1999 Charmes-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes is a broad, super-ripe, lush, and mouth-coating wine. Abundant candied cherries and blackberries can be found in this soft, supple, exquisitely long and pure offering. In its highly detailed finish, notes of strawberries and violets can also be discerned. Drink it over the next 12-15 years." (08/01)"
