Textbook Gev, but leaves a lot to be desired from a grand cru parcel. Has the finesse, but both nose and palate did not travel far. Have had far better at the price (albeit already low for a beze)

Amazing out of the gate. Didn't need decanting, just a few minutes of air. Will benefit from time. Drink within the first 12 hours of opening as Day 2 lost a lot of the fruit and complexity. Fine tannins. Graphite. Nose is amazing. I smelled it more than drank it.

The nose was dark and spicy, showing masses of ripe cherry offset by a mix of confectionary spice, brown sugar, burnt orange peel, and exotic floral tones, On the palate, I found soft, silky textures with ripe spiced cherry offset by citrus-infused minerals and brisk acids. The finish was long with saturating black cherry, lingering spice, zesty acids and fine tannin. Unfortunately, this came across as too spicy, sweet and ripe fruit-forward for my tastes.

Oak is very strong right now. Spice, clove, cinnamon. Ripe red fruits, strawberry, raspberry. Some orange oils. Palate shows oak, ripe red fruits, floral violets, lavender notes, freshly turned earth. Needs a lot of time.

Tasting Gevrey Chambertin 2015 in Burgundy (Roi Chambertin, Gevrey Chambertin): Tasted after Bruno Clair and a comparative let down. The dry raisin aspects were more prominent on the nose. Although the palate was smooth and savory, it seemed just a bit warmer overall. For lovers of acidity (like me), I was not so enthralled, in spite of a certain decadent charm.
