"Coeur de Roy" Tres Vieilles Vignes Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir

Delectable - this is the Mazis Chambertin from Dugat Py. Rich Ruby red. Vegetal whole bunch aromas with red fruits, dry extract and firm tannins. Powerful - will live for a very long time. Every year at these tastings we find the wines of Dugat Py to be on the larger full bodied style. Roscoe from PWS was not a fan of this wine saying it was over ripe, soupy with a touch of Brett. A bit hard to take for a wine costing $1700AUD. and a little harsh IMO. This is the first of 9 Grand Crus from Gevrey Chambertin.

Outstanding example of old vines, drinks like GC, still extremely young, but just starting to give back a little.

Liquid dark cherry licorice. Needed time to open and had so much going on and on the finish.

This ones way too young right now, it has potential I believe, but I'd like to see it with some time.

Such expressiveness, high-toned aromatics, extremely young yes, but I've always loved this "commune" wine, vine age does so much for this wine, excellent stuff.

Aromatics are a joy. Spice and earth and berry branch fruit. Tight though. It needs a bit to shed its shyness.

Very expressive for a 2012. Perfect balance. Layer two both emerging and persisting on the close.

More Saturday brown bag fun at @Knightsbridge Wine Shoppe

This bottle is finally showing. Lots of earth with a bit of fruit still hanging on

Flowery.
