  Gevrey Chambertin night. This was #1 or #2 WOTN in some tough competition in more regarded vintages. 1996 2002 2005. Laurent, lots of Jadot grand cru, etc. This one was singing. Excellent provenance. Excellar release in Autumn 2018. Still tautly wound, and hallmark clay-earth undertones and black tea. Fruit hiding behind the density of the terroir. Really elegant with some oomph backing it up. Really fine. Impressive.

  PnP, then drunk over three evenings. It was a bit grumpy on the first, at its best on the second and had started to fade on the third.
  At its best it was wonderful: complex nose, with red fruit, floral notes and the start of tertiary development. On the palate it had a kind of lightness but at the same time the assertiveness you expect from Gevrey, with earthy, almost ferrous notes, and fine-grained but firm tannins. A great pleasure to drink.

  My first of these and it was good with a salad topped with left-over king salmon. I actually think this wine needs additional cellar time for the flavors to mellow a bit. It had good fruit but was a bit disjointed with some harsh tannin and bitter notes. I will wait a few years to drink my next bottle.
