The Charmes-Chambertin exhibits a medium ruby color, and spicy, sweet, Pinot fruit intermingled with scents of herbs and toast. The initial good attack and medium body are followed by a lean, tough, hard, angular wine with the fruit seemingly dry. The wine's compact finish gives cause for concern, but if readers prefer their red burgundies slightly tough, in a Medoc-like style, they should opt for drinking this wine early for I fear it will dry out. While Domaine Dujac's 1993s possess some of the characteristic Jacques Seysses precociousness, they also contain plenty of structure and tannin. To my surprise, Seysses feels that the 1993 vintage is "one of his greatest, even better than 1990," which he now dismisses as "over-ripe" and "atypical."
