By Bill Nanson
(Latour Louis Gevrey-Chambertin) Medium-plus colour. The first sniff seems architypal Gevrey; dark fruit against an earthy, almost grainy nose. With open time it becomes higher toned with more red fruit, seems much softer if a little less interesting. Decent concentration and certainly it’s more red-fruited in the mouth. Good acidity and late appearing tannin with a little grain. Not the glossy fruit and concentration of many 2005 Gevreys, but at a decent price this is worth buying.

Smooth. Cherries and some tannic bite at the front of the palate. Everything a classic red burgundy aspires to be.

Remarkably, still strong raspberry fruit. The structure is overpowering and the balance is not ideal. Lots of air and open time help, but cannot overcome this.

This bottle was aging quite well. Flavors of Cherry and light flowery red fruits with a full middle and a light but tight Tannin finish that was quite long. Three more bottles and this one shows that this was a wine for time to develop. Decanted before drinking and found a small amount of solids at the end of the bottle.

The bottle had a bit of dusty roses on the nose and front and then went to a dry and tart strawberry. Finish was a medium dry tannin and a touch of flowers. To me it tasted a touch tired but everyone else disagreed. It has been fun following 7 bottles over the last 5 years and are excited to have 4 more to go in the next year or two.

Very light in the glass. Singed rubber, leather, and maraschino cherries on the nose. Bright acidity with mellowed fruit. Feels a little watered down but not off-putting. Quaffable. Simple.
