As we enjoyed this 1997 Charmes-Chambertin blind, we never guessed 22 years of age! We got so much red and black fruits, pepper&spices and wood&minerality. The wine developed and changed frequently in the glass. In a great spot right now but will hold many more years. BoW 19/20

Stunning. As another posting thankyou emirates first lounge. Fresh. On the nose you can 'just' tell its aged but super silky, raspberries predominantly for me and super length. What a treat.

Fresh (with distinctive acidity) but aged character too. Intense, concentrated, with marzipan oak on the edges I find it hard to believe the label.... 1997!
Thank you Emirates airline. You have best cellar.

Herbal, floral, touch of ripe blackberries. Great sous bois! Thanks, Ian, for the bottle and arranging Howard's Gourmet!
