Nice bottle of wine for the $$$, and was unmistakable as a mature Gevrey, but at least on the palate was a bit disjointed. Deep red, on the nose this wine was classic: sous bois, earth, crushed berries. But on the palette, despite some charming fruit, the acidity was harsh and the finish overly drying. It got better with air, and was much more enjoyable with food than without. Stealing for $27, and in great shape, but a little out of balance. I don't think this will improve any more.

Leaky cork and crusty capsule covering a fresh and delicious wine. Still quite youthful.
