Vieilles Vignes Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir

Such a good village Gevrey

Round, mineral, a little bigger. very GC typical. Good!

Well over the hill (feeble colour, astringent nose, crumbling palate). I know some would say this was never meant to last 33 years, but if you can't make a village GC that will last from a year like '83 then you drop down a large notch in my book. Two bottles, both from a good cellar, with great levels. Identical notes so it wasn't down to having a bad bottle.

Transparent cherry red color. Slight coffee, mushroom loam nose, mild but obvious new oak add -staves, chips. Bright palate Meyer lemon red fruit. Will remove tooth enamel swallow quickly.

Pine pitch. Depth. Subtle. Perfume. Pepper. Strawberries.

2020 - Very good but would be interesting to see how it develops over-time. Red Fruit Cherry, Strawberry, terroir, medium body with good acidity

2014 very good tried Dec 27 2022 a later Xmas turkey

one wants to justify the wine one buys. this is very light and tasty. problem is slow development in terms of beginning (nose) middle (first taste) and end (aftertaste). Just be patient!!

Began badly xmas eve 2020 but seconday back onform.. go figure! Will try tomorrow as well,

Still very good
