Decanted for 1h. Amazing nose of violet, mushroom, red currant and sandalwood. Fresh and elegant, with bright red berry attack, cranberry pie, dried herbs and a touch of oak. More red fruit and notes of sweet rubharb emerge on the lingering finish.

Nose: Gorgeous nose of red fruit, game, iron, mineral, sweet cherry, oak and florals. Very complex and a lot of depth. Palate: Extremely impressive silky palate feel that has just enought tannin in reserve to bite a but. Rusticity in an elegant presentation. Layers of fruit, earth, game, mushroom and burnt embers. Finish: Great length and a lasting impression of a great Gevery.
Slow ox for about 12 hours and enjoyed thoughout Christmas day. Very enjoyable wine entering early window. Wish I had more.

Terrific nose. Just super complex and enchanting: iron-rich mineral, game, red fruit, roses, licorice, mushroom, egg yolk, thyme. Many of my notes aren't fruit related, but that only speaks to the complexity - there is a ton of fruit here. Its a big burgundy. Still has some chewiness, I find a tiny bit of astringency on the mid-finish. I think it will be even better in a couple years, the finish should lengthen with age. Really terrific bottle for $42 at my local shop.

Decanted 45 minutes+ Nice dark fruit plus sweetness on sides of tongue, stiff gritty tannins and a bit of a sharp bite there-Needs time is all. I'd give it 4-5 years, and try one again ~2021 onwards. I'd probably rate it higher once it settles down.

Perfect. Gunpowder, peppercorns, & roses on the nose; lots of well integrated fruit on the palate. Beautifully made wine, ready to drink, with some breathing space beforehand.

Long decant gave this the opportunity to stretch out and show gorgeous red fruit with a earthy, mushroom & mineral note that is classic for GC. A great cuvee and one I will be seeking out in the future.

This is another burgundy that is really sensitive to the amount of air, temperature and other factors. The first few glasses off of Coravin did not impress, however, when I popped the rest of the bottle it showed really well with a few hours of air.
Nose: Red Plum, Black Cherry, Tart Blackberry, Palate: Excellent black/red fruit with mineral and ample chalky tanin. Suave on the nose with a red plum, cherry and violet notes. Finish: Great finish that just falls off a bit, and shows somewhat aggressive tanin at the moment.
Good wine that just needs some time. Be sure to decant and get up from cellar temperature before serving.

Plummy and sauvage, mossy aromatics. Nice texture and sap to the fruit, slightly tart and abrupt finish on day one pnp.

Light crimson ruby; floral, sweet red berry, limestone; sappy palate, not the deepest but very enjoyable.

Bringebær, jordbær, litt kanel og vanilje. Medium fylde og lengde. Litt enkel og ikke stram nok etter min smak.
