1990 Charmes-Chambertin Faiveley

We had Natalie and Darryl from Ontario visit us this past weekend and for dinner on Monday, we decided to go to The Oyster Club in Mystic. My husband called ahead of time and was told that it would be okay to bring our own wine for a small corkage fee. That works!
One of the two bottles that we brought with us was this 1990 Charmes-Chambertin from Faiveley. No barnyardy nose for this Burgundy, it was dark cherries, red raspberries, and a mouth full of soft tannins. We drank this, but not necessarily paring it with a dozen fresh shucked oysters then moved on to our entrees which included scallops, tilefish, tagliatelle and steak.
The company was stellar, the meal was superb and the wine sealed the deal.
