2018 Domaine Antoine Lienhardt Gevrey-Chambertin
5/9/2024 - Derek Darth Taster Likes this wine: 91 Points
Late night at home after work. Drank in Gabriel Standart and Grassl Cru.
Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
Nose medium+ intensity, with aromas of fresh fragrant earthy funk with meaty bits, garden flowers, spices, ripe red cherry fruits. Developing.
On the palate, dry, medium+ to high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), medium tannins, medium body. Medium flavour intensity, with gentle flavours of fresh earth, fine crushed stones minerality, sweet spices, fresh ripe red cherries, raspberry, bit of ripe stems and hint of fresh meat. Medium finish.
Very good quality. Gentle Gevrey village very drinkable right now. Juicy fruits. Could develop nicely over the next 3-4 years also.

Late night at home with J. 1 day old bottle. Tasted blind. Drank in Gabriel Standart. The story, the wine, the history. Poignant that I enjoyed the read of "Godforsaken Grapes" recently.
Appearance is slightly cloudy, pale intensity, lemon colour. Thin legs.
Nose medium intensity, with aromas of apple cider, sour lemon, yeasty lees, hint of alpine flowers. Developing.
On the palate, high acidity, medium- alcohol (12%), medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of intense sour lemon, apple cider, quince, skin contact lees, sweet refreshing alpine flower juice, minerality. Long zippy acidic finish.
Very good quality. Refreshing invigorating wine that feels so unique. Feels like it might age well too.

Late night at home with J. 1 day old bottle. Tasted blind. Drank in Grassl Cru. Classic Northern Rhone for me.
Appearance is clear, deep intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of dark green olives, herbs, dark stems, black pepper, blackberries, old book with yellowed pages, tinge of soy. Developing.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium+ alcohol (13.5%), resolving refined high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of savoury meat and earth, dark green olives, black pepper, herbs and ginseng, blackberries, black cherries, leather. Very long grippy leathery finish.
Very good quality. Just feels a little older than expected for 2014.
