Combes aux Moines Vieille Vigne Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir

(I took a stock pic and asked the wrong one!) A powerful and decadent nose. Bloody deep plum, black cherry, tar. Young and tightly wound. Excellent material- a way to go.

Ruby red at the edges and dark purple brooding at the core. A lean, brooding wine with a beautiful, elegant nose. Poised, balanced, mineral and some soured dark plum with underbrush. Excellent.

Beautiful red fruit aromatics. A little disappointed not as “sauvage” as some other vintages. In the mouth a great combo of juicy red and and black cherry flavors with some fleeting earth notes.
Wonderful integration but still not showing complexity. Started to shut down after an hour. The structure is there for it to age.

Deep & rich showing dark fruits, sweet spice, mineral with violet

Don't start throwing tomatoes at me i know it is a crime to open this bottle this young....it was actually a mistake i thought it was a Gevrey-Chambertin village until i had my first sip and i was confused so i looked at the bottle and was floored. Anyway it is what it is...long story short this rocks

Wow. Earth. Berry. Complex.

very delicate. probably could wait a few more years.

Pale ruby hue with tawny rim. Red berry fruit on the nose and with earthy and somewhat gamey undertones. Big, flavorful red fruit and impressive tannic backbone dominate the palate with good acidity and a mineral quality to the long finish. Magnifique!
