Mostly mature black fruit with braised meat, leather and mushroom, this was lots of charm and nuance for Village level wine, with impressive weight. Popped-and-poured, this was best once open 20-45 minutes. Probably better a few years back, but still easily within its peak drinking window.

A wine of transparency; the fruit-forward 2006 style marries with classically Gevrey themes to generate a wine with ripe cherry, smoke, fur, and mineral notes. This might be a bit more interesting when it picks up more tertiary components though it's pleasurable now and certainly delivers for a village-level wine.

Not ready. I've had good experiences with 2006 Burgundies recently, so I thought I'd open this. Feels closed; not sure where this ends up... or when. But another 5-10 years won't hurt, I don't think.

Wine was best upon opening. Interesting funky and gamey notes mixed with Smith Bros. Cherry cough drops on the nose. The wine was dry needing some fruit to balance it out on the palette. After being open several days under vacu vin, each day the wine seemed to develop more green woody flavors and just lost its balance becoming difficult to enjoy.

The color is between garnet and brick. The nose is more interesting than lovely: big game, barnyard and black fruit/berries. Taste doesn't really compare to the nose, although there is blackberry, black currant (cassis), and gaminess, spices, almost like a barbecue sauce. It's surprisingly thin though, and finishes short. Was expecting more. Still, fun to try. Better with food. I'd drink it now. Won't last another 5 years (at least from tasting this bottle).

had with the Maddings, nothing special, not a buy, a little drying on the mouth and frankly not much on the palate to please, drinkable with food but not a buy based on this bottle

Knightsbridge Holiday Burgundy Sale (Northbrook, IL): Far better than another bottle from a few weeks ago. Black fruit on nose and palate with good meaty spice as well. Good minerality and acidity complement the big black fruit nicely, providing good textures and energy. Nicely balanced and accessible now, should be better in 3 or 4 more years.

I thought this was a very nice Gevrey - especially for a village wine. Full nose of dark berry/cherry with a dose of barnyard. Dark fruits, oak and earth on the palate with a slightly lean texture, but also with good depth and grip. Very Gevrey in style - dark, aggressive, slightly rough and lean. More bottle time will likely show improvement.

Bobby Kacher Tasting and Dinner (Knightsbridge - Northbrook IL): Black fruit on nose, spice more in background. Same dense fruit on palate with lots of tannins and acid, so this needs another 3+ years to fully integrate. there is a slight muddled element emerging in the middle and end that I didn't really enjoy, so hope it's just this bottle.

Knightsbridge Burgundy Tasting: New Releases (Northbrook, IL): Wine tasting. Black cherry and elements of roast meat on nose. Black cherry and boysenberry flavors, good tannins, very good acidity and minerality. Showcases Gevrey well. Very good density and textures for a Villages level, this wine should age nicely.

taste: taught tannins with a good medium feel and robust tones of dark red cherries, spice tones, raspberries, earth, and dark berries. Very good complexity on the palate as well as medium/high acidity
overall: a real quality young gevrey village wine. Robust and with some good power behind it, it does need some time to fully come around and show off what it really has. There is good balance and complexity that brings a bit more then a normal village wine

Nose had barnyardy, earthy funk. A touch of oak. Baked cherry and minerals. Velvety upfront with baked black cherry. Strong, young tannins, but not unpleasant. Long oak and pepper finish.

A Night of Burgundy 2006 : Terroir Express @ Vintage 21, Bangkok [Charlopin : Chombolle-Musigny, Anne Gros : Vosne-Romanee, Clude Dugat : Gevrey-Chambertin and Robert Chevillon : Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Les Roncieres] I got this bottle from Burgundy, visited at the harvest on 23 Sep 2009.
After Anne Gros, I put NSG 1er Cru to be the last one so the next wine is Gevrey-Chambertin : Clude Dugat. Surprise !!! there is no terroir smell in first nose but fragrance, perfume like, stunning, everybody feels the same impact. Wowww....very easy to fall in love with this wine. I can't put the glass down and still wonder how it was made. In the mouth, yes, that's the Gevrey-Chambertin. Tannic, earthy, dense, rough and aggressive but in the good way. The finish is just nice. Anyway, this is my, WOTN, winner of the night. The mild-blowing wine !!!

Bland and no nose. My bottle was uninteresting. Tasted over four nights and little change.

characteristic aroma and mild heavy taste. For that maybe a bit expensive.

Knightsbridge Burgundy Tasting (Knightsbridge Wine Shop (IL)): Wine 7---
Oak. First impression of much oak.
Herbs, spice and wood.
Fattest and fullest yet. Long finish. Oak, tannins and spice.
A little broader and fuller than previous wines.
