  Uh oh, a bit before dinner I remove capsule to find damp soft soggy cork. With some care I remove intact, into the decanter -the color is not encouraging -definite browning. Nose of earth, meat, and cherries, but some age/oxidative notes of prunes and brown sugar. I think this has seen some less than optimum storage . I have low hopes for the Gevrey, but by time we had tried other reds it made a comeback. Color seems better, fruit a bit fresher. Earthy, fruit is not classic but certainly drinkable. At its peak a B-, I wouldn't mind trying a pristine bottle.

  Dang, what a beauty. A little short on complexity, but a well put together meaty Gevrey. I guessed Roty, a little less meaty than their style but nice classic stuff.
