Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux St Jacques, Tortochot

Note:

An all but mute nose reluctantly offers up softly spicy aromas of brooding and exceptionally cool dark berries, forest floor, game and that humus character that Gevrey so often shows. The sleek, intense and tautly muscular medium bodied flavours exude a subtle minerality on the lingering and powerful finish that is youthfully austere to the point of being borderline strict. As is almost always the case with a well made LSJ, this is going to need time to unwind and flesh out as it very tight at present.
