  First two bottles of 12, just removed from in-bins storage since bought en-primeur.
  
  Medium garnet. Pronounced nose of red fruits - strawberries, cherries, alongside oak spice (cinnamon and cloves) and tertiary development of mushrooms and forest floor. The acidity is high, balancing the fruit, medium alcohol, and the medium- tannins are chalky. Long finish.
  
  This is drinking beautifully now and will do so for a few more years but there really is no need to hold although it will be very interesting to see how it develops as it loses the primary fruits. Outstanding quality for a village Gevrey Chambertin.

  Friday night dinner at Nicolas.
  Appearance is clear, medium intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of gorgeous deep red fruits, ripe strawberries, red flwoers, integrated toast oak with hint of smoke. Developed.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), smooth medium tannins, medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of ripe strawberries, deep red cherries, integrated oak spice, some bits of Gevrey meat and smoke. Long sumptuous finish.
  Very good quality Gevrey village. Drinking in a great place at peak.
  30% new oak.

  Sour cherry, nice but not complex, could have mistaken for new world. Good but not great.

  This is a wow wine that, after ten years, has no real imperfections.
  
  Curiously deep in color, beautifully ruby.
  
  The nose. Wow, the nose. Raspberry and sour cherry on top, opening up to layers of forest floor, mushroom, reminiscences of leather, vanilla, and nutmeg. It's so complex and so beautifully harmonious that made you go back multiple times to see the evolution and development of its beautiful aromas.
  
  Medium body, with medium + acidity and medium alcol. The best part here is the tannin maturation. Tannins are silky, velvety, persistent, yet gentle, a real pleasure. Long finish, with reminders of the sour cherry from the nose and a slightly more balsamic note.
  
  This is a fantastic product, and every new vintage is better than the previous one. On the 2013, after 10 years, is sublime. Peak maturation, it can stay 2/3 more years at this level before starting to lose the freshest fruity notes.

  This was unusual in that this wine is an easy, tasty drinker which is not my typical experience with a GV village. Yet it has the spice, yet muted, the aromas, but not powerful, fully resolved tanins and a long finish. Very enjoyable and will be drinking more.
