This is a blackberry festival in a glass. Menthol, lime, cola, and blackberry on the nose. Velvet, silk, smooth licorice, and blackberry on the palate. Finishes with a bold expression of chalk. Amazing structure and balance in the wine! Pure love! Decanted for 75 min.

My retailer got a wholesale closeout offer. I haven’t seen Domaine Pierre Gelin wines for awhile but the price was excellent and the CT ratings were in the middle 90s, so bought a case. Expressive youthful nose displaying perfectly ripe pure black fruit, crushed black berry, a hint of light strawberry jam, sweet spices, rose, a hint of espresso bean and limestone. Very polished, harmonious and detailed palate, very finely layered pure black fruit, silky and airy, perfect amount of acidity, good mineral presence and a long seamless pure black fruit and clove driven finish. Definitely a top grand crus. It will need another decade or two to reach the youthful peak. I have no doubt that this will be a great Beze, love to taste next to the Rousseau version.

Red fruited, medium acid, low-med tannin, bit of gunflint. Balanced and tasty, but not quite the power I'd hoped for in a GC.

Actually well-made and really good. Super packed with core spice and immense power. Developing layers. 93+
