A markedly ripe yet fresh and cool nose offers up a beguiling array of spice

Jacques Frederic Mugnier Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Amoureuses 2006 Portugal youthfully austere and beautifully longThis 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.
