End o' Summer Roundup - 2015: Not sure if something was off with the bottle or whether it was closed down, but this was a bit of a dud in the lineup. Chalky is the descriptor that leaps out, although it did have good structure and some hints of cherry and cinnamon.

Appealing nose. The palate has some nice cherry flavours, smooth tanins, and good balance. Overall, though, I find this pretty boring, especially given that it's nearly 40 euros a bottle! It epitomizes that modern/well-made category of wine that's devoid of any real individuality and personality. I've had much better Gevrey's from less well-known producers for significantly less money. Disappointing.

Lunch with Gavin (Jaan, Singapore): This was quite an excellent village. It had a very pretty nose, full of bright, cherry aromas of cherries and and rapberries and some strawberry juice aromas, all very 2009 in its red-fruited expressiveness, along with a nice bit of Gevrey-ness with hints of earth, mineral and a little floral perfume. Very pretty. The palate was very enjoyable too, it had a very nice, juicy freshness for a 2009 to go along with crunchy, high-toned flavours of cherries and red berries lined with a little stony minerality and the slightest touch of bramble at the edges of its open-knit finish. Quite delicious, and while not the most profound of wines, it had a very nice sense of silky structure and balance that made it a very food-friendly wine.

Nasty corks have clearly ruined this wine.
