Another 'lost bottle' this was thoroughly delicious opening with a deep cherry red colour and a forthcoming nose of strawberry, dark cherries and rose with touches of meat, allspice and porcini. The structure was excellent on the palate with a fine sphere of fruit leading into a savoury finish of game, porcini and blood orange. there is a lovely delicacy to this wine with a real peacock's tail finish with a persistent line of red berry fruit lingering on the end palate. Age has done marvellous things here as the early impression was of a hard somewhat lean wine. Wonderful tonight !

Gevrey: Combottes 1er Cru and Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru (Chicago + Zoom): Enticing, layered nose of exotic spice-filled meaty black cherry. Yum, rich, plush and lightly sweet black cherry that is fresh and bright. In a great spot now. Only nit might be slightly less concentration then you'd like in a Grand Cru.

Very classic Gevrey with loads of meat spice and meaty black cherry fruit. Still fresh and round, but it's showing its age with earthy, leafy undertones. Should hold for a decade+.

Liked this a lot, but it was overshadowed by the two Jadot 96s poured alongside. It's more reticent aromatically at first, but with a couple of hours of air it opens out nicely to show some of those classic Gevrey earthy and leathery notes around its core of red and black fruit, with more savoury mushroomy and stony elements coming through on the back end. Very nice, though never really developed the extra gear or depth I'd expect from this site.

Gevrey-Chambertin Neighbors: Combottes 1er Cru and Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru (Chicagoland IL): Old school Gevrey with some awkward structure but lots of power. Rich black plum and cherry, meaty character throughout, with tannins that aren't particularly hiding. Lots here, very engaging, even if not at all elegant.
