Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 14
Bright medium red with a palish rim. Lovely floral lift to the aromas of cherry pit, rose petal, mint and sexy new oak. Densely packed and silky, offering good size but a light touch. Red fruit, bitter chocolate, floral and mineral flavors display terrific precision. Finishes pure, gripping and long, with a firm underpinning of dusty but sweet tannins and a lingering floral quality. This one should evolve gracefully.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Neal Martin - 30 Nov 14
Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. Faiveley’s Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 2011 has a detailed nose, but the main problem is that it is distinctly lacking vigor and there is a touch of under-ripeness. The palate is a little hard on the entry, quite tough and masculine at the moment with dry, austere tannin on the finish. It feels a little dumb at the moment, though it may improve in bottle.

Dry, slightly sappy tones (from oak, I think) and a smoky finish to the plump red fruit. Succulent tannins. (RH)
