(92-94) Blackberries, black cherries, and candied black raspberries can be found in the nose of the medium to dark ruby-colored 1999 Chambertin Clos de Beze. This wine has outstanding depth and concentration. Loads of lively red cherries, strawberries, and blueberries can be found in its velvety-textured personality. Additionally, this wine possesses an exceptionally long, pure, and super-ripe tannin-filled finish. Projected maturity: 2004-2012. -Pierre Rovani

This still has buckets of pinot extract with good concentration, palate staining intensity and terrific length. It has also put on a good deal of weight since my review from barrel and it has begun to shut down with its ripe but austere tannins beginning to dominate on the finish.
