The 1999 Beaune-Grèves Vigne de l'Enfant Jésus 1er Cru is poured from magnum. This has a wonderful bouquet with licorice, baked cherries, kirsch and marmalade. It's bold and open, a bouquet that wants to be loved. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, gentle grip, solid and muscular. There's some chewiness toward the finish, where I am just seeking more finesse. It's still quite youthful, so either drink now or over the next 15-20 years.
