  1/2, excellent cork.
  Medium/deep ruby/garnet core, pale garnet rim. Youthful. Lovely aromatic, youthful nose with pure Morello cherry fruit, a slight rich, meaty edge as it warms in glass. Medium bodied, pure dark/morello cherries to the fore, again a touch of smoky meat, polished tannins, vibrant acidity, very good length, harmonious finish. Certainly approachable, but still young. Excellent village wine.

  stunning purity of fruit. this is quite striking and seems to be at peak. needed no decant. Long finish and lovely bright raspberry fruit. Can't believe this is a village wine. And such a gorgeous nose.

  Decanted 3 hours. Great complexity and earthiness. Beautiful nose. I can't describe what exactly made this wine great; but it was.

  great nose of deep dark fruit, funk and a bit of the animale.... too bad the palate was completely lacking. while only a village wine, i really would have liked more structure to this wine. to me, it was just fat & flat; lacking any grip, tannins or acidity. just laid there on the palate... oh well....

  The ripe black cherry fruit and rich earthiness of this nose announce this as being very Gevrey, at least to me and I’ve seen the label so I know I’m right. There is no dallying around with new oak or alcohol levels of orotund character, this is just the fruit expressing where it was grown and as such the nose really tweaks my aesthetes. As I said, the tannins are not the most suavely polished, but they work very well with its ripe fruit. Anyway, don’t we want a bit of rigour to our Gevrey’s? Not every pleasure should be of easy virtue. That being said, the palate is not hard or awkward, just vigorous. Good acidity here as well, and an engagingly long finish for a village wine with the lovely cherry fruit really lasting. Yeah, this is good stuff; not just typical but also a really enjoyable drink. No rush to pop your bottles, there is plenty of vibrancy here that will certainly last.
