Medium-to-dark ruby-colored and offering violet, coffee, and perfumed aromas, this wine is a broad, expressive, expansive, and medium-to-full-bodied wine. Its powerful, velvety-textured core offers copious quantities of blackberries, minerals, and sweet black cherries that linger throughout its focused and persistent finish. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2006. I believe 1996 will be remembered at Maison Louis Jadot as particularly successful in Chambolle-Musigny. This offering was excellent to outstanding.
