A great wine - where you get cherries and strawberries - we are also getting some menthol - the wine is dark (house style) - you also sense the use of new wood - the wine has a great balance - tannins and acidity are well integrated - my quest had it blind and he guessed premier cru . The wine has a nice long aftertaste - a well made wine - that still will develop - we are happy to give solid 93.

Roasted meat with intense black cherry and plum aromas and flavors. Some clear earthy character when first opened, but which dissipated by the time finished three hours later. Very good depth and balance, I'd have certainly thought this Gevrey 1er Cru density if tasted blind.

Dim Sum Club at Majestic (Majestic Restaurant, Marina One): A big, strong village, just about coming into its own. The nose showed deep wafts of dark cherries and berries, bloody iron mineral, and a lift of florals and spice at the edges. The palate was still marked by a sense of extraction - with firm, powdery in tannins and chewy acidity framing big flavours of dark berries and cherries, all this leased with a nice spiciness and, again, that tang of iron mineral. Solid stuff, good with meat dishes, and probably with still a bit of upside to go. Not the most elegant of styles though.

Deep dark colour, red rim. Intense rich fragrance of plums, black cherries and distinct cherry stone zest. A light scent of oak but a much stronger sherbet zest. Rich and quite extracted, heavy plums and black cherry, damsons and a hint of prune. Slightly tart finish, not especially well balanced. Has some earthy flavours adding complexity but fruit dominates. Curious but not exciting.

Dark red, but with a lovely vibrant glow. Floral bouquet, with violets and fresh roses. Some nice forest floor and toffee. Palate was fresh, acidic, with a good amount of resolved tannin. Again, there was the intensity, with cherries and raspberries and fresh minerals. Its amazing how balanced Bernard Dugat's wines are, be it Bourgogne or Grand Crus. This was a really lovely effort, a village drinking well above its level.

Very ripe and intense black cherry aromas with some sauvage and Gevrey roasted meat character. Very similar on palate with a surprising stemmy note that I inferred as whole cluster, which surprised me for this cuvée. A serious Villages wine, slightly more brooding than I'm finding in 2007s today.

Rather ripe cherries, some herbal notes, some spice, some developed notes starting to appear. Palate with good concentration, ripe strawberries and cherries, good acidity, spice, some tannin, pleasant spiciness. Rather accessible, can develop more.

Massive red berry bouquet with some herbalness. Not much earthy or animal hints at this point, rather a very pure fruit. Full bodied, well balanced flavour with impeccable structure and a very long finish. Very good, probably great in a few years time.

Nice wine. Great fruit and acidity, minerality and spiciness apparent. Drank it a bit early; could use 3-5 more years. But certainly not drinking poorly today. I'm looking forward to trying it again in a few years.

Weygandt Tasting NYC (Astor): Full nose, fuller body yet not heavy. Light medicinal and rubber notes, dusty tannins. Wow, as importer suggests, give it a few years.

Dark red color. Expressive nose, dark red black fruit, earth aromas. Medium plus flavors of ripe dark fruit, mushrooms, earth flavors. Very good interesting structure, good grip. On the mid palate some wel integrated round tannins. Medium long finish. Great Gevrey village, great potential. Outstanding!

Burgundy 2007 (Chez moi): Dark, almost roasted, modern stuff; not a fan as such, and in the company of great wine, this falls through.

A nice balanced combination of red/black fruits with minerality
Could have used some decanting; drinking well now but no rush
90-92 pts

Decanted for one hr
Very alcoholic at the beginning, mellowed out within two hrs. Lots of red fruits with white peppery nose . Long finish
Needs time 3-5,years to come together
