Community Tasting Note

David Strange Likes this wine:

Monday, December 6, 2010 - The ripe black cherry fruit and rich earthiness of this nose announce this as being very Gevrey, at least to me and I’ve seen the label so I know I’m right. There is no dallying around with new oak or alcohol levels of orotund character, this is just the fruit expressing where it was grown and as such the nose really tweaks my aesthetes. As I said, the tannins are not the most suavely polished, but they work very well with its ripe fruit. Anyway, don’t we want a bit of rigour to our Gevrey’s? Not every pleasure should be of easy virtue. That being said, the palate is not hard or awkward, just vigorous. Good acidity here as well, and an engagingly long finish for a village wine with the lovely cherry fruit really lasting. Yeah, this is good stuff; not just typical but also a really enjoyable drink. No rush to pop your bottles, there is plenty of vibrancy here that will certainly last.
