(Frederic Esmonin Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur) Solid dark cherry red color; rosehips, strawberry nose with a touch of barnyard; tangy, tart red fruit with sap, good acidity; medium sweet tannic finish

(Frederick Esmonin Gevrey Chambertin "Clos Prieur") You know it's a good vintage when a Frederick Esmonin wine is blowing you away.Great nose of grilled meats, dark cherries, tree bark and wet earth. Palate is round and concentrated with beautfiul purity and that killer '05 balance. Tannins are there and extremely ripe but buried by a ton of fruit. Long finish and wonderful velvety texture. Another killer '05 at the low end. So many good village wines in this vintage..which is about all I can afford! So I am glad they are good.

Note: I use the recommended scale -- 85 is a very good wine.
My opinion is similar to that of Dulcie and Aylwin. Very nice bottle that has held up well over time.
Flavors not particularly pronounced, but apparent and enjoyable.
Could also be my impaired sense of smell -- head cold.
May have been slightly better on Day 2.
I have two more -- time to drink up.

I've had this for a while: a purchase dating back to the old Sams days; oh such bargains to be had then, if one's timing was right. This not an increable bargain but a decent price. It has lasted well. Slight brick appearing in the body and a pale rim. Somewhat subdued aroma but plenty of fruit on the palate: pretty "masculine" (if we should still use such sexist terminology), a bit of an edge to it; overriding tart cherry; I agree with some on the dimensionality but hey it is a village wine.

Tart fruit. A hint of funk. A bit light at the tip. Not bad.

Drank yesterday with the turkey. Had this wine a year or so ago and my notes are consistent. The wine has plenty of life left but it's very light in style, one-dimensional and mostly fruit-driven.
