Annual Jadot Dinner - this time with Thibault Gagey (Sepia - Chicago): 96/97/02 - my favorite of the three and just by a hair over the 97. So complete and so at peak. Lovely, full, intense aromas of meaty black cherry with spice. The palate has excellent concentration and vibrancy. Meat and spice layers. Excellent.

Decant for 1 hour, back in bottle, slow ox for 2 more hours. Color still strong. Minerals, very ripe cherry notes but yet understated. On the long finish the very ripe cherries started to develop a slightly sour touch that not only added more character and enjoyment it helped bring out and accentuate some of the otherwise hidden green elements while still maintaining the ripe fruit on the palate as well. Complex, silky, long finish. Wish I had more.

When opened a fairly strong beefy barnyard smell. Double-decanted and nose quickly went to faint saddle and cherry compote. Drank over two hours and it just kept getting better and better to the last sip. Very long, very smooth, was all on finesse with some weight, tastes of cherry compote, with light saddle and earthy taste.

Jadot (and Clair Dau) Chapelle-Chambertin Dinner with Thibault Gagey (Sepia - Chicago IL): In vertical. Textbook Gevrey, textbook Grand Cru, this is a charmer with pure and precise black fruit. Not quite as exciting to me as the 1997 in the next glass, but I understand why some tasters enjoyed this 2002 even more.
