Community Tasting Note

Saturday, September 17, 2016 - This is a classically-styled Gevrey Chambertin in every sense. After being decanted for half a day, the wine pours a dark musky red color with brick orange tints and medium legs, like that of an aged Bordeaux. On the nose, the bouquet yields plenty of cherries, cigar box, sous bois, eucalyptus and damp earth. On the palate, the wine is well-structured with fine but undeveloped tannins. Alcohol is very mellow despite the 13% ABV. Just like the nose, the wine tastes of red fruits, blackberries, plenty of sous bois, truffles, burnished leather and spice. The wine then finishes with a smoky kick and plenty of sous bois. Respectable intensity and concentration throughout. Great price quality ratio to be honest, and a wine that truly reflects the terroir well, one that actually reminds me of Graves in profile, minus the weight. Would definitely improve when the tannins are well-integrated into the wine. But for now, this Gevrey shows aged wine characteristics at such youth. Wow.
