Tasting Notes

90-92
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 13
(60% new oak; from cold soil under Cazetiers with a real combe influence, noted Mortet; always high in grape sugars but with good acid retention): Bright medium red. Musky redcurrant, a whiff of violet and a slightly grilled note on the nose. Dense, sweet, classic Gevrey with lovely vinosity and lift; conveys a strong impression of chewy, salty extract. Finishes classically dry, with impressive rising length and suave tannins. Should make an outstanding village wine.
