A lovely nose with feral red fruit and a slight lift. Nice wide palate. There's a really engaging spicy, leathery feel to this. I find this quite an exciting wine which seems to me what red Burgundy is all about.

Almost feral on the nose, but there is lovely ripe red fruit beneath aswell as that earthy gaminess. A classic mature Gevrey, though it doesn't display the sheer class of the Cros Parantoux we had alongside. Wonderfully smooth and together in the mouth with great acidity pointing up the fruit (but not intruding). Great drinking with the deer, but not truly great. 4+
