  Good Friday night wine swap with the gang. Tasted semi-blind. Drank in Grassl Cru.
  Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour with slight garnet. Legs.
  Nose medium+ intensity, with aromas of iron meat, leather, earth dark red cherries, black cherries, sauvage and strong sous bois with more air. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13.5%), structured integrated high tannins, medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of black cherries, blackberries, dark red cherries, dark leather, iron meat, coffee, mocha earth, some smoke even. Long finish.
  Very good quality. Masculine. The opposite of what some recent vintage Burgs have been described to be as "sissy". I was guessing ripe vintage ~2009 Gevrey 1er Lavaux/Estournelle. Ouch, nearly 10 years wrong.

  Overly green and stemmy at first; the fruit and other savoury flavours emerge with some air as this becomes more pleasant, but the stalky greenness remains and while it's not bad with time, it's still a bit too vegetal for my taste.

  Quite a full, meaty, lushly oaky nose and palate. Fruit covering the tannins far better than the previous bottle though there is still a slightly less than generous edge to the finish. Very nice indeed. ***1/2

  Served at 15C. Pale/medium garnet core, medium pale garnet rim. Sweet, initially quite fruity plum and red cherry nose, with some spice and game. Becoming more figgy and earthy as it warms, with minerally "hot race track" notes emerging. Medium bodied, with mellow, sweet fruit, some game and figgy notes, soft and harmonious on the mid-palate with decent intensity, weight and density, fresh acidity and a very good length finish. Becomes a little firmer on the finish with time. Very enjoyable and very ready.

  Full colour and expressive nose. Quite animal. Lush attack, oak evident but fruit to cover it. Nice minerality and sauvage character to the finish, just about recognisablre as Gevrey. After a couple of hours though the wood tannins are very noticeable and the fruit isn't there to cover them. Open and drink before this dries out or will this last? Went very well with a jugged hare ***1/2
