2005 Domaine Lucien Le Moine Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru “Les Amoureuses”

13.5% alc.. $373-$582 (current price). Imported by Scott Paul Selections, Portland, OR. · Moderately dark garnet color in the glass. Persistent aromas of black cherry, sous-bois, rose, vanilla and toast satisfy and maintain over time in the glass. An array of black fruits are composed in a mid weight style with underlain savory oak highlights. Not as giving as the 2003 vintage by this producer and less sappy, but still sporting a very long finish. More underlying acidity and tannic backbone in this vintage. Much better when re-tasted later in the day. Drink now to 2030. Score: Very Good. Reviewed February 4, 2018
