Ponsot's 1996 Chapelle-Chambertin, tasted three times since its bottling, is ruby-colored and offers cinnamon-infused aromas of spices and sweet red fruits. This Chapelle has vibrance, a medium body, as well as excellent balance and focus. Its flavors are dominated by red currants, tangy cherries, and berries. However, it does not approach the 89-91 rating I originally gave it in Issue #118. Anticipated maturity: now-2002. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel (205) 980-8802.
