8/5/2017 - Haggis Likes this wine: 94 pointsOn opening, I was worried and disappointed, as this was thin, flat, and lacking in any character. I had invited some Finger Lakes luminaries to dinner and was a bit embarrassed, esp as one of my guests brought a 2001 DRC La Landonne (which was amazing!). This Gambal was a disappointment, in comparison. However...ta dah...after being opened for 5 hours, it was AMAZING. So much depth, earthiness, dill, herbs (esp sage)... I'm astonished. If you have some, decant it for 3-5 hours before serving. But, take a taste upon opening so that you can see for yourself the miraculous transformation. I hope your experience is as magical as mine.

BEAUTIFUL!!!... (NB - wondering if bottle variation could occur -- the two notes from earlier this year were not as complementary, but those were 750's from a different supplier, not the magnum format we had this night... hmmm?!?) 1 person found this helpful, do you?

7/30/2021 - Mrbuzz Likes this wine: 93 pointsThis wine reminds me of truffle mac-n-cheese...not in flavor, but more in the comfort food that is SO satisfying...able to be gobbled up without thinking...yet the mind is engaged and tastebuds activated with the added truffles...more so than just straight MNC. This wine is creamy, 1er worthy, and almost balanced too well...nothing stands out, kind of boring to me as I like unique things that scream something! Ripe orchard fruits(pear/apple)...tad sweetness, but like a sweet lemon...crisp and super crystalline pureness...plenty citrus cut and crushed oyster shell salinity. Very pretty white flower, spearmint florals and sweet vanilla bean spice...slight lees. Just a leisurely, uneventful, but totally satisfying cruise down the river. I drank the whole bottle myself! 2 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2/5/2020 - MC wrote: NROpened a second bottle from the case to realize the last had a flawed cork and this was much easier to taste out of the bottle, showing a lot of ripe cherry fruit on the nose and palate, but still a lot of tannin showing. 2 hours later this still has enough rough edge to it that I think I would wait a couple of years and let this soften up a bit more.

2011 Maison Alex Gambal Gevrey-ChambertinPinot Noir more |
8/26/2019 - cdp1276 Likes this wine: 93 pointsAged in French oak up to 18 months, this Burgundian style Pinot Noir is delicate and expressive with notes of rich leather, green pepper and dry herb like thyme and oregano. Tannins are medium with a very light mouth feel. Drinking great now but can only improve with cellaring. |

12/13/2020 - Es7e2003 Likes this wine: 93 pointsNose alone warrants the score. Intoxicating notes of cherry coke, raspberry, earth, forest floor, and violets. High acidity, grippy tannins and a medium +/long finish. A very good wine. |
