Who knows, maybe the 2005 will ultimately be better but then again, we may all be dead by the time it's ready. The 1991 is glorious now (and will be for a long time) and it is cheaper. Go figure that. "Sumptuously rich fruit followed by flavors that are astoundingly complex and powerfully long with magisterial elegance. This is supreme in its expression of that which is Chambertin, offering power without weight yet an intensity and pungency of flavors that must be experienced to be believed. This wine has improved like a rocket since it was released and while there are still solid but ripe finishing tannins, it is slowly approaching its peak. Only a handful of Burgundies ever show this level of quality and this has to be one of the top five wines of the vintage. Reference standard Chambertin that will drink well for years. Be sure to give this at least 30 minutes of air. Drink 2008-2020." 96 points Allen Meadows (Burghound) Click Here to view all Products in our BURGUNDY Category
