  -- decanted one hour before initial taste --
  -- tasted non-blind over 2 to 3 hours --
  
  NOSE: high-toned red-fruits; reminds me of a raspberry lambic; hint of wood; medium- expressiveness.
  
  BODY: medium-light bodied; ruby color, of medium depth, with bricking at edges.
  
  TASTE: very acidic – a touch sour; red-fruited flavors of medium-light concentration; a touch austere, with slightly drying tannins coming through on the finish; 13.0% alc. not noticeable; slight gamy quality; hint of oak; touch of green/olive astringency. Speaks of the vintage. Glad I opened this now, as I don't see this getting any better --- this may already be on its gradual downslope. Drink Now.

  13% d'alcool
  Oeil : opacité 4/10, forte viscosité en parois, auréole à peine orangée
  Nez : timide à l'ouverture, il a eu besoin de 60 à 90 minutes d'aération pour se livrer, alors frais, fruité devant intensément sur la griotte, animal (fourrure), minéral, ferreux, épices douces, boisé fondu, terre noire, très beau pour le rang
  Bouche : sec, ample+, acidité rafraîchissante, tanins encore charnus et de grain moyen, amertume modérée, persistance plutôt longue, rétro végétale, fruitée, minérale, métallique, épicée
  Conclusion : Superbe Gevrey générique, qui aurait eu besoin de 2 à 4 ans encore (probablement), mais qui se livre très bien ce soir après un bon coup d'air. Notre dernière.
  89-90

  Bright crunchy red cherry fruit with clove and vanilla. The fruit is still intense with fair bit of acid poking through. Feels like it still has time to improve in next 3-5 years.

  High acid vintage is apparently here. Need more time to settle down. Decent and clean nose, still some unresolved tannins, no hint of alcohol. Due to the acidity, more of a food wine now, but should be better in 5 years.

  Medium clear red; lovely fruity nose with plenty of raspberry, some vanilla; lovely, smooth and pointed, nice acidity giving it an edge; good taste, good length; a bit on the lean side, but well tasting; much better / more developed than 2.5 years ago - "a point" I believe
