Robert Parker Wine Advocate Antonio Galloni - 26 Apr 12
The 2009 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques bursts from the glass with dark red fruit in an exciting, viscerally thrilling style that captures the personality of the vintage. The wine is beginning to shut down and will require patience, but it should be pretty spectacular when it emerges from its slumber. Layers of fruit build to the sensual inviting finish. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2029. Importer: Kobrand Corp., Purchase, NY; tel. (914) 253-7756
Drinking Date: 2017 - 2029

The 2009 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru comes across a bit staid on the nose, missing the joie-de-vivre of other vintages, quite tarry, in fact. The palate is oaky and chewy; this muscular CSJ needs more finesse. There is impressive density, yet it requires more mineralité and terroir expression. Tasted at the Southwold Burgundy dinner at Hatched restaurant.
Drinking Date: 2023 - 2033
