  Light ruby with gentle fading. I'd describe this as quintessential Gevrey-a 50/50 mix of gamy red fruit and soil. Lighter weight, tremendously well integrated acidity, superb length. Poised, elegant, rising perfume as it opened. Peak mature Burgundy experience.

  Aromas of red cherries, beets, herbs, mushrooms and earth. Medium-bodied with resolved tannins and a certain sense of sweetness that, combined with the beet aromas, makes me feel that there was chaptalization involved. Not as complex or dense as a 1988 Leclerc Cazetiers tasted over a year ago, and not even close to the 1988 Jadot Clos St. Jacques tasted a few weeks ago. Not undrinkable, but clearly not up to par with some other 1988 Gevreys I've had the fortune to taste. Seems past its best should probably drink up.
