Vieilles Vignes Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir

My continuing quest to taste as many 22’s as possible.

This leans into 93.

The nose shows, ruby, slightly candied mid to dark fruits. Dark cherries, cooked strawberries, blackberries, black raspberries and raspberry hues on the glass edges. Flowers that are soft, dark, red flowers with violets.

The palate reveals ripe to just a touch syrupy; dark cherries, blackberries, cooked strawberries and black raspberries. Clove, nutmeg, soft cinnamon & vanillin with deep, dark spice, melted caramel, barrel shavings, dry tobacco w/ some ash, lightly grilled meats, limestone marls, dry herbs, dry stone & topsoil, light forest floor w/ dry leaves, brilliant dark red flowers famed in liquid violets, rainfall acidity with a balanced, well made, nicely tensioned, elegant finish that last ninety seconds falling into dry stone and spice.

This will require about 7 years in the cellar and last 20 years properly stored.

At $159, priced fairly in today’s Burgundy market, which has soared.

Black fruits, light, dry plums

Fresh! and tight...

The acid felt unbalanced !

This was unexpectedly a bit overripe. Decent backbone but the dark fruit was too dominant.

My favorite of the magnum flight. Solid dark fruit and excellent palate

Last bottle and after being disappointed with the last few: this was singing a final encore harkening back to its youth.

说是刚到试饮期，感觉主要还是以荃类香气为主，杯中静置一下可以感觉到比较明显的红色果干味，只能说还可以

Probably better a couple years ago, but this has held up more nicely than the Chambolle from the same year.

Fine burgundy
