From magnum; this took a little while to get going; the nose initially had some soy/hoisin type notes in addition to underlying ripe fruit, earthy underbrush notes, and game meat. With air that note seemed to lessen and the fruit blossomed a bit and became a bit lighter. Palate had good concentration and while this was very good, it didn't quite live up to my expectations of the vintage and vineyard. Decanting probably would have helped.

Lovely nose of red fruit, cream, hints of tobacco. Palate is extremely integrated and round. Super soft tannins. At its peak. Drink the rest over 5 years.

Holiday Champagne Gala (Park Ridge Country Club): Small glass, brief note. Maturing black fruit with roasted meat. Good+ weight, rustic edges. More "Gevrey" to me than Girardin 2002 Beze in the next glass, even if the Girardin is a more fun glass of Pinot Noir.

Black fruit, braised meat, sweet spice on nose and palate. Unmistakably Gevrey. Slightly more mature than I’d expect from Grand Cru at this age, but still very tasty and clearly showing Grand Cru density.
