By Bill Nanson
(Gelin Pierre Fixin Clos Napoléon) Medium ruby-red colour. The nose starts very subdued, only slowly starts to take on a more tertiary, slightly alcoholic edge - eventually becomes quite interesting. The palate is well textured with super acidity and impressive mid-palate concentration - if it had any astringent tannin in its youth then it’s already melted. It’s ready now and I’m sure it will hold for a few years more, it’s just a little Gevrey in style and very well priced.

This bottle at least was over the hill. Improved mildly with air, but not worth drinking at the $25 I paid, or at any price for that matter.
