Verkostungsnotizen
Vinous 94
The 2002 Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras 1er Cru is a wonderful wine that is probably reaching its peak at two decades old. Wonderful transparency (one of the leitmotifs of the vintage) with crystalline red fruit that seems so vivid, with very subtle undergrowth notes in the background. The palate is beautifully balanced with a fine spine of acidity, hints of crustacea towards the delineated finish. This is the finest bottle that I have encountered, and it is difficult to resist at the moment. Will it get even better? I don’t think so. Tasted blind at the Roumier Les Cras vertical at Medlar, London.
Anticipated maturity: 2022-2038
Robert Parker 92
Pale ruby colour. Pretty aromas of raspberry and violet with a suggestion of moss. The palate gives an excellent balance of elegant fruit and structure with a racy backbone acidity plus soft, finely-grained tannins. Long finish. Drink now to 2015. Tasted January 2009.
Anticipated maturity: 2009-2015
