  Spices, pepper, oak, leather. Comes in strong early then softens up. Very tight from the get go. On the 3rd sip, I realize this is at near peak or prime of drinking window.

  This was really lovely; the nose was beautiful and classic Gevrey with some bottle age; there were dark fruits of blackberry and black currant, some hints of red fruits also mixed in with some sanguine, mineral, tea leaves, and floral notes. Really enjoyable to smell. The palate was very typical for the vintage in that the acidity was quite high, but there was enough fruit and stuffing to make this quite pleasurable. Served with lamb chops which paired well as the acidity and fat from the chops married well. Not sure it will hold for a long time, but easily has 5+ years of good drinking pleasure.
