In spite of this

blackberry and cassis

round and lightly mineral-inflected middle weight flavors that possess both grace and class on the moderately complex and balanced finale

Following on the heels of the monster-sized '89

As pretty as this is on the nose and mid-palate

Jacques Frederic Mugnier Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Amoureuses 2006 Portugal In spite of thisThis terrific effort has evolved beautifully and still closely resembles my original tasting note from 2008 with its knockout nose that is classic Amoureuses as it combines seductive spice and a ripe blend of red, black and blue fruit aromas that are displaying hints of maturity. There is good richness and a lovely minerality to the naturally sweet, fresh and energetic medium full flavors that are supple, classy, balanced and beautifully persistent.
