(Clair Bruno Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St.Jacques) In hindsight it was more of a mistake not to ask for larger glasses in the restaurant than to delay the request for a decanter - this wine was a missed opportunity. Over about 90 minutes the wine never opened out on the nose, subdued aromatics of red fruit with a faint black edge. From time-to-time I imagined more, but then it was gone. The palate is that of a perfectly balanced, linear light-middleweight that is fine of tannin and shows good freshness. On this outing the length is also unremarkable. Too tight for interesting.
