2009 Geantet-Pansiot Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru

(94 Points    -----    Burghound)

A very ripe and highly complex spicy red berry liqueur nose is a mix of upper and lower register aromas where the aromatic depth is the best in the range is followed by rich, full and notably sweet big-bodied flavors that are delicious and punchy, all wrapped in an extract rich finish that is also marvelously well balanced. This is really quite ripe yet it has everything it needs to age well over the next 12 to 15 years.     Review Date: 01/2011
