Tasting Notes

89-91
Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Jan 14
The 2012 Gevrey-Chambertin Estournelles-Saint-Jacques wraps around the palate with good depth and resonance. Sweet red cherries, plums, flowers and spices open up in the glass. Over time, the Estournelles turns a bit more delicate and fleeting. Dried roses, mint and cinnamon linger on the silky finish.
